Linhay nos 1 + 2. More accurately described as sheds, as linhays usually contained a hay or fodder loft over animal stalls below. Both were built between 1871 and 1886, of masonry with pitched slate roofs and open fronts. No 1 was probably built for beef cattle (M. Laithwaite pers comm), whilst no 2 was originally an open shed and has since been converted into cattle stalls. Both are still used for their original purpose and represent the shed(s) recommended in 1871. Other details: Figs 10, 18; Pl 25.
