On gentle W-facing slope, in low-lying pasture, c. 200m NE of the Groody River. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified in the vicinity of enclosure (LI005-085002-) by Avril Hayes in 2002 during testing (Licence No. 02E1787) in Field 2 in advance of a residential development including private houses, student accommodation and support facilities (Hayes 2003, 4). This uncovered a corn-drying kiln which was then excavated under licence (No. 04E1454) by Avril Purcell (Purcell 2004, 11). The kiln (L 2.06m; Wth 0.7m; D 0.48m) was a slight keyhole-shaped feature orientated N-S. This opened out into a slightly wider circular-shaped bowl (diam. 0.75m) at the N end. The bowl was identified by its size and oxidised clay indicating that it was the location of the fire pit (Purcell 2004, 21-23).
See attached plan extract from excavation report (Purcell 2004).
