Kiln, corn-drying

What is recorded here

At WSW within Monasterredan graveyard (SL046-014002-) an ecclesiastical enclosure (SL046-014003-). A circular drystone-built kiln was uncovered during a graveyard clean-up undertaken by the Monasterredan Community Development Association in 1985-6. A considerable quantity of charcoal and charred cereal grains were clearly visible. The kiln was sealed off with a damp-proof course and a stone seat (1.5m N-S; 1.26m E-W; H 0.45m) was built on top of it to mark its location and to prevent damage. (pers. comm. J. Enright) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
