The linhay was built with the barn adjoining at the north end on the west side of the farmyard, probably in the late 17th or early 18th century. It is now five bays, but the southern end is late 19th or early 20th century and it may originally have extended further. The rear (west) wall is cob on stone rubble footings, but the cob of the southern two bays has been rebuilt with 20th century concrete blocks. The tallet floor is carried on crossbeams, set into the cob at the back but supported on granite orthostats on the open front. The front was altered in the late 19th or early 20th century, when a stone rubble wall with a doorway blocked the southern three bays, and the granite post was removed from between the northern two bays. The tallet is open fronted, and the roof is now clad with corrugated iron but was originally thatched. There is a 20th century feeding trough along the rear of the linhay. Other details: Plates 25-6.
