Plas Uchaf is a 15th-century cruck-and-aisle-truss hall house, 1.5 miles south-west of Corwen, Denbighshire, Wales and 1 mile north of Cynwyd. Its excellent workmanship indicates a house originally of considerable importance; it has been described as "of palatial significance".
The house consists of a long rectangle divided by a cross passage. The west end is a large hall some 25 feet high. The east end consists of smaller rooms on two floors.
The roof structure is substantial, of paired cruck beams with additional horizontal, vertical and diagonal bracing. One unusual feature is that the truss between the cross-passage and hall is an aisle truss, a form normally only found in much larger buildings such as barns and churches. This suggests the use of English craftsmen and is an indication of the status of the original inhabitants.
