Description | A three-bayed cruck-framed barn ranged west-east and sited across the slope at a higher level than the house. The lateral walls are timber framed but the gable ends appear to have been stone walled. The trusses at the central threshing floor each have a morticed tie-beam and collar; the surviving truss set against the stone wall has a lapped tie-beam and high collar and was not infilled. Trefechan is the first farmstead where it has proved possible to date both cruck-framed house and barn; the investment in the barn occurred fifty years after the construction of the house. Survey in NMRW; dating commissioned by RCAHMW. |
