The abstract describing the content of the publication or report
Abstract:		 The author presents a response to a recent paper on the origin of crucks by N Hill (Vernacular Architecture 36 (2005), pages 1--14) in which the linguistic roots of the word furca are used as a basis for the suggestion that the word refers to forked posts rather than cruck blades, and that cruck construction did not appear until c. 1250. It is argued that the evidence of both standing buildings and documents is consistent with crucks having a much earlier origin, probably in the early-twelfth century, with base-crucks appearing in about 1200.
