The same shed as in http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/758039. Iain Lees describes it as a Tin Lambing shed. I believe it to be used at shearing time when the sheep give up their fleeces. Between the two gates is where the sheep are collected, the area behind the second (wooden) gate is where the sheering is done, under the cool shade of the trees. The clipped sheep will then be returned into the pasture behind the photographer via the sheep sluice which can be seen to the right of the photograph. The fleeces would then be stored in the shed.
