Will look up the measurements, unfortunately there were no obvious signs of the cylinder bolt holes but it is possible something was revealed during the NT conservation work - I havn't looked at the house closely since that was done.
The engine house is obviously of unusual design due to the nature of the site.

You say you have measured the western engine house, have you got the measurement of the cylinder opening at the back of the engine house, thickness of bob wall, does the cylinder loading still exist, or are the bolt holes evident, how many bolt holes are there and what is their distance apart. I would be very interested. From memory the rear cylinder door seems a little narrow for a 70 inch cylinder to pass through.
But it is a while since I have been to Trewavas.
Be interesting to see measurements of this engine house.
