Notes on ESGAIR-Y-GORS, Swyddffynnon, Ceredigion 2014

A large house, long ruined with large barns adjacent and still in agricultural use. The footpath from the road keeps the house from view but within minutes you see a clump of Scot’s Pine and you know exactly where you will find the house. One of Scot’s Pine had fallen recently and smashed into the rear. Most of the roof, indeed façade, had come down and the house is mostly a shell. Clues of the rooms remain, fireplaces, lintels, building materials and as I wandered around I wished I’d visited ten or fifteen years previously.
