Full Record - Pennant Melangell, Tyddyn-llwydion

| Description | Tyddyn-llwydion, Pennant Melangell, was a cruck-framed hall-house longhouse with an early seventeenth-century cross-wing. The plan appears to have been: cow-bay (floored), large passage, single-bay hall, inner-room. The passage partition truss had the large open panels, probably for feeding cattle, first identified by S. R. Jones (1969) at Cil-eos Isaf. The dais partition alone was box-framed; the upper parlour end was close-studded. The building has since been demolished and the timbers purchased by Tom Smith who provided the sample slices. The platform has been excavated by the Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust and a full report is to be published. The dating has identified two phases, one of 1554 and the other of 1602. Although the crucks were not positively provenanced, it is thought the latter relates to the cross-wing. |
