DescriptionA small sixteenth-century storeyed house (apparently with one room on each floor) situated at 190m above O.D. on the moorland edge. The range has the characteristic gable-end fireplace with winding stone stair of the Snowdonian house. The single collar-beam truss has the inscription `1562 R+W' on the rear principal rafter, but this timber was felled nearly a decade later (summer 1571), and a purlin and half beam in winter 1573/4. Timbers in the associated and possibly earlier range (`barn') did not date. The early history of the house has not been traced. Plan and description in RCAHMW, Caernarvonshire Inventory II (1960), 42-3 & fig. 38.
