New House Farm stable, Llanvetherine, Mons. SO36638 16397 NPRN404681

This structure is a 3-bay stone-built, slate-roofed, raised-cruck stable, situated across the steeply sloping ground, to S-E of the house..
 The stable has a first-floor and loft supported by two pairs of raised-crucks, seated on square-section ceiling-beams with morticed collar and saddle. A stud projects from the saddle to support the ridge-piece and there are 2 pairs of side-purlins. The crucks retain mortices and peg holes for spur timbers, indicating, that it once had timber-frame walls, on a high stone plinth.
The north-west gable-end has an entrance doorway and window, while the side walls have two pairs of blocked ventilation openings. There is a pitching/window opening in the lower gable-end.
Inside the present later lean-to against the south west side wall there is a long low dripstone above a horizontal wall timber, indicating there was a lower lean-to originally. There were also drip stones to ventilation slits visible in the lean-to.
It was probably built in the early-C17th, soon after the house was improved. The cruck-trusses may be re-used full-crucks from the original hall-house formerly at the lower end of the present house, or re-built from a cruck barn range. 

.

The building was recorded after its collapse, June 2006. The surviving cruck-couples  should be recovered for re-use later, before they rot.
