Kiln, corn-drying

What is recorded here

Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. 93E0098). A substantial drystone built underground kiln with attached storage shed. The kiln was keyhole shaped, with a sub-circular stokehole at one end, a drying chamber at the other and a flue in between the two. Its overall length was approximately 7.5m. The storage shed was rectangular in shape (5m x 6m) and lay immediately SW of the kiln. Wattle screens used in the drying process together with carbonised cereal grains were found in the storage area. (O'Sullivan, 1993) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 4 May 2012
