Linhay. Probably late C17-early C18. Cob on stone rubble footings; thatch roof.
Plan and exterior description: originally open-fronted (the tallet/hayloft still is)
the linhay faces north. It is built across and terraced into the hillslope. It is
6 bays. The tallet/hayloft is carried on a series of roughly finished crossbeams
which, on the front, rest on monolothic granite posts. From the top front end of
each crossbeam an oak post rises through the tallet/hayloft curving at the top and
lap-jointed onto the outer principal of an A-frame truss with pegged lap-jointed
collar. The one exception, at the left end, is a true cruck. This is Alcock's
linhay type S2. The roof is gable-ended. At the back, near the centre, there is a
hayloft loading hatch with an old, maybe original, oak frame. It could be loaded
from the terrace.
This, and the barn nearby (q.v.), are now rare examples of still-thatched
traditional Devon farmbuildings. This linhay is altogether a particularly well-
preserved example.
