I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'outbuilding' is the definition.
(I know that shed is a type of outbuilding)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shed that I've seen before include "place for bikes" , "In which lawnmower is kept" , "Simple building; discard" , "Cast, wooden building" , "Discard; small building" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
