Description

Ysgubor Gerrig is a building constructed from large local boulders and stone rubble, with some areas rendered. It features a slate roof and pebble-dashed end-wall stacks. The building is two storeys high and has a two-unit plan with an entrance offset to the dwelling. To the right is a lower former cow-house that aligns with the main structure.

The dwelling has a boarded door, which is flanked by 12-pane sash windows on the ground floor, while the upper floor features three 4-pane sash windows set in small gabled dormers. The former cow-house has a doorway towards the center, which consists of a glazed door with an external boarded shutter, but it originally appeared to be windowless, with a large inserted window in the gable end.

The house retains its two-unit plan, although the partition is recent and may have been relocated. The principal fireplace is located in the left-hand (uphill) room. The roof has two collar trusses, both showing signs of reconstruction or reuse. The former cow-house has a similar truss, but it is constructed more crudely and also exhibits signs of reconstruction.

Local climate

Ysgubor Gerrig sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,550 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 20 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 79% of listed buildings. Of these, 8 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
