Notes on ESGAIR FFOSFUDR, Nant-y-moch, Ceredigion 2011

A mile or so from Bwlchystyllen (see previous property) stands, albeit oddly positioned deep within a bank, Esgair Ffosfudr. Barely.

A small stream ran not six feet from the front door and has obviously become blocked under the long grass. It bubbles over, running in front of the entrance and into the outbuildings. The ground around the house is sodden with foot and equipment sinking under their own weight.

The far wall of the house, as seen here, as collapsed, revealing the upstairs bedroom with a cast iron bed still in situ. All very damp and I imagine this was once a much loved, much cared for, small-holding – now on the brink of total collapse.
