A circular linhay is an ancient type of structure found in England, particularly associated with Devon. Linhay (rimes with finny), also spelled linny and linhay, is a type of farm building with an open front and usually a lean-to roof.[1] In Newfoundland English a linney is similar as a storage space, kitchen, or porch but as an addition to the rear of a house[2] and American English as an open, lean-to shed attached to a farm yard.[3] Linhays were used to store hay above and shelter cattle (cattle linhay) or farm machenery (cart linhay).[4]
