What is recorded here
Large, double ended (dumbbell-shaped) stone-lined, corn-drying kiln. Probable
firebox(es) located in the central flue. Approx 6m long with drying chambers c.0.50m
wide inside the lining. Layers of burning and ash deposits inside the flue. Whole
remaining structure is sub-surface and appears to represent the underfloor flues rather than actual firebox and chambers. This is quite sophisticated and resembles the dryer at Killeisk. Probably later Early Medieval - Medieval. Nearby were a few pits and postholes that represent occupation of unknown date.
