Atgyweirio/Restoration

Fuasai'r garreg i'r adeiladu ar gael yn lleol, hydynoed drwy aredig yr ardal leol.
Daw'r to gwellt o gorsen a'r grug fydd yn gorffwys ar latsen gollen. Adeiladwyd crib y to o goed a changhennau a hydynoed pren o longddrylliad.

The stone for the building would have been readily available from the ploughing of this stony area. The thatch would have been from a reed, laid on a base of gorse and heather, which in turn lays on hazel laths. The ridges, beams cruck and purlins would have been fashioned from trees, branches and perhaps shipwreck timbers.

Brif Ystafell/Main Room

Mae’r ystafell yma yn nodweddiadol o fythynnod tebyg tua 1900. Yma bu’r teulu yn coginio, bwyta a chysgu; yn aml yn magu llawer o blant mewn amgylchiadau clos. Mae’r brif ystafell wedi ei rannu i ddwy ran, byw a chysgu.
Bu’r ardal “byw” yn cael ei ganoli o amgylch y bwrdd, lle fuasai’r tasgau dyddiol yn cael eu cyflawni, bwyta bwyd ac unrhyw weithgareddau domestig neu gymdeithasol. Defnyddir y dresser fel storfa ar gyfer bwyd a’r llestri.
Cadwyd y bwyd darfodus mewn cornel oer, gyda ffenestr fach. Gwnaed hefyd menyn yn yr ystafell yma, o ganlyniad i hyn gelwir yr ystafell yn Dy Laeth.
Bu’r trefniadau cysgu yn syml iawn. Gwely cul ar y llawr isaf, gydag Ysgol yn arwain i’r loft lle bu gwely bocs o fatres gwellt.
Bu’r siop bresennol yn ystafell cafwyd ei newid i letywr.

The room is a typical rural dwelling circa 1900. Here the family cooked, ate and slept; often rearing large families under these cramped conditions.
The space is divided into two distinct areas for living and sleeping.
The living area centred around the large table, where the daily chores were performed, meals eaten and both domestic and social activities in the evenings. The dresser is a
functional piece of furniture to store food and crockery.
Perishible food is stored in the corner on a slate slab in an area with a small window. Butter was also made here and as a result the room is referred to as Tŷ Llaeth (Milk House).
Sleeping arrangements were basic. A narrow bed on the ground floor and a ladder leading to the crogloft holding a long bed box with a straw mattress.
The area currently housing the shop was an outbuilding converted at some point to house a lodger.

Adeiladau/Outbuildings

Yr adeilad bach ger y tŷ yw’r Cwt Lloi.
