Clom - a welsh word which is centuries old. Clom was made up of horse hair, dung, straw and anything else they could find to cheaply erect a small one story dwelling. Found in West Wales in areas such as Cardiganshire, clom cottages are rare now as many were left to ruin. Some have been lovingly preserved and some fine examples can be found in Saint Ffagan's Folk Museum near Cardiff.
