Full description
Torbay HER record (SMR record). SDV361984.
A building, which by 1992 was being used as a barn, was shown on the 1840 Tithe Map when it was described as a linhay belonging to Blagdon.[1]
In 1993 the building was observed in a reasonable state of repair, although the corrugated-iron roof had partly blown away. It is constructed of reddish sedimentary rock containing abundant small water-worn stones (conglomerate). The floor surfaces are of rough cobbles. Its plan, with two pillars to the north and south, suggest it was originally an open-fronted, back-to-back linhay which had already been converted, by the mid-nineteenth century for use as a "shed". The roof is undoubtedly secondary, possibly having gable ends when first constructed.[2]
