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)
