What is recorded here

Ruined late 19th-century pottery works in County Cork, Ireland. A circular bottle kiln with seven arched furnace holes and a saucer-domed roof still stands inside the remains of a three-storey brick building, its bottle-neck chimney pointing upward like a forgotten call. Tradition mentions more kilns at this place, suggesting a busy cluster of fire and clay that has since fallen silent.
