Kiln

What is recorded here

At the base of an E-facing slope of low ridge running roughly N-S. Field under tillage. No visible trace at ground level. This kiln was excavated in 1986 and consisted of 'the side walls of a partly destroyed, keyhole-shaped corn-drying kiln, maximum dimensions 6.60m long and 1.30m wide. An area of rough pebble paving was revealed at the entrance area of the drafting flue which had a clearly defined 'fire-bowl'. Remains of charred cereal grain were retrieved from the fill of the circular drying chamber...There were no other features or finds' (O'Donnell 1987, 33). A full description of the excavation is published (Gowen 1988, 158-62). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
