9/35 Round House in centre of farmyard at Roanstrees

G.V. II

Probable flax drying shed. Early C19 (marked on 1832 tithe map) for John Dodgson. Whitewashed rubble walls, sandstone slab roof. Small circular plan building with steeply pitched conical roof. Plank door in quoined surround. Casement windows in either side are a later addition. There is no recorded use for this building, but a nearby flax mill may indicate its use for this industry. Other suggestions are that it was a lock-up, as the farm at one time belonged to a J.P. and that the building was constructed as a bet, to prove such a structure could be built. It is unique in this area.
