Cruck Barn at Ty-coch

A 5-bay cruck threshing barn with stone gable ends returning about 2m at the sides. The side walls are in timber framing 3 panels in height, in timber of light scantling, on a plinth of rubble stonework. On the north side the timber framing survives almost completely but at the south much of it has been replaced in brickwork. Great door survives at north (second bay from east) and evidence of similar at south.

Four cruck trusses survive. The upper cruck (truss 1) was replaced in stonework circa 1850. Truss 2 was the dais-end truss, and evidence for a door remains in the face of the R cruck blade. Truss 3 was the central hall truss with cranked notch-lapped lower collar. Truss 4 has a tall king-post supporting ridge; there are mortices for a loft doorway set under the collar; rebate for doorway on SE side. Truss 5 has later collar and king-post. Truss 6 appears to partially survive in the stonework of the lower end gable.
