Full description

Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV22836.

In reasonable state of repair, although corrugated-iron roof partly blown away. Constructed of reddish sedimentary conglomerate. Floor surfaces of rough cobbles. Its plan, with 2 pillars to n + s, suggest it was originally an open-fronted back-to-back linhay which had already been converted, by mid-19c, to a shed. Roof undoubtedly secondary, possibly having gable ends when first constructed (reed + turton).
