It is written hung house (not huny). There’s a typical flat top to the g. The tail of a y goes in the other direction. Compare the g in hoggs (above), and the y in yarde (below).
I haven’t yet discovered what a hung house might be. There’s no valuation for it, unless it is run in with the following line?
Wow you're right.
The tail does go the wrong way for a y, which is why I originally thought it was a g. But after emeltom's suggestion of hunye, I concluded the flat top was actually a tail on the f above it and that the tail direction was just a simple mistake. But no, it is a flat top - there is another very similar example with an s elsewhere on the page (see attached).
There definitely seems to be an e on the end of the word? There are several es written in this way on the page, e.g. the e on fence later in that line.
Yes, there's no valuation for this line - it runs into the following line.
The Dialect Dictionary has a possibility:
hung house - a place where animals are kept without food the night before they are slaughtered.

Good find, thank you. I agree with Bookbox though, the entry seems to be for Hung
er House - however if I'm right that there is an e on the end of the word, then phonetically could that work?
