This site consists of the side walls of a partly destroyed, keyhole-shaped corn-drying kiln, maximum dimensions 6.6m long and 1.3m 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 and have been examined by Mick Monk, UCC.
There were no other features or finds. The site lies 100m from a ringfort.
