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