What is recorded here

This is the record for the corn-drying kiln excavated by James Eogan and Richard O'Brien (97E0075). It consisted of an oval pit (3.5m long, 2m wide and 0.55m deep). The N part of the pit was deepest and the clay in its base had been oxidised. Two parallel lines of five stake-holes were found in the base of the kiln. Two shallow trenches, which probably functioned as flues, extended from the SE and SW corners of the pit. (Eogan and O'Brien 2005) Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 24 January 2013
