Excavated completely (00E0471) as part of the investigation of the moated site (WX036-079001-). The kiln was located just outside the NE moat, and consisted of a central firing-chamber (diam. 1.3m) with flues and fire-boxes to the NW (diam. 2.5m) and SE (1.5m). A charcoal sample from the end-use of the firing chamber produced a C14 date of cal. AD 1300-1435, and the structure is probably best interpreted as a corn-drying kiln (Eogan and Kelly 2016, 218). The midden (WX036-079005-) is about 10m to the NE. (Tierney 2002; 2009, 194-5; Tierney and Johnston 2006, 14, 15) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 1 February, 2017
