Crugyn

Crugyn is a timber-framed house that originally featured wattle and daub infilling and has since been partially weatherboarded. It has a slate roof, likely replacing an earlier thatch, with corrugated asbestos covering the lower section. The house was initially a single-storey structure with two bays, consisting of a hall (cegin) and an undivided inner room. Around 1600, a stone stack was added, and the hall was floored over, creating a lobby entry with the kitchen in the remaining lower half. An additional bay was constructed uphill, forming an inner room with a standard sub-medieval plan, which may have replaced an earlier bay.

Adjacent to the lower timber end wall, there is a three-bay cowhouse and barn. The walls at the upper end are 2½ panels high, and the upper gable is made of stone. The barn stands at 2 panels high with a lower roof. It features a boarded door and various paned timber windows.

Inside, there is a large open inglenook fireplace in the hall, and the inner room, which was added later, has been raised. The three cruck trusses have tenoned and notched apex joints, with tie beams that step down with the slope of the ground to the east. The intermediate bay has an earth floor, while the lower two bays of the cowhouse are flagged.
