What is recorded here

Listed in the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) and classified 'Kiln Possible' in both. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. At Lackan tower house (SL010-018001-). A field report dating to 1983 (SMR file) recorded a possible doorway centrally positioned in the centre of the S wall which has been filled up with rubble and burnt stone. The fieldworker postulated that this may be part of the back of an kiln abutting the external face of the castle wall. This is a post-1700 feature.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL010-018002
