Cider House, Llwyncelyn Farmstead

Primary Reference Number (PRN) : 16201g
Trust : Glamorgan Gwent
Community : Crucorney
Unitary authority : Monmouthshire
NGR : SO3094621823
Site Type (preferred type first) : POST MEDIEVAL CIDER HOUSE

Summary :
A potential Cider House belonging to Llwyncelyn Farmstead.

Description :
A potential Cider House belonging to Llwyncelyn Farmstead (13638g). The absence of a fireplace, internal sub-divisions or stair access between its floors all suggest that it was not designed for domestic use. A missing shaft could have been the shaft of a cider press, powered either by man or beast, in which the apples were crushed – hence the paved ‘ring’ in the floor - whilst the trough remnants could have been associated with a press where the ‘cheeses’ – bags of crushed apples – were squeezed to extract the liquid. The loft could have been for storage. It is difficult to date and could be anywhere between the mid-16th-18th century.

Labelled Building C in a survey from 2013 (E007616).
