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