The fabric of the Linhay has to be all of 19th and 20th century dates/phases. The building is not shown on the Tithe map, but it is on the first edition OS 1:2500 map, thus placing it in the bracket of 1843–1884. Given its late date it was decided to omit the linhay from detailed building recording, however, the report presents descriptive notes.
