This site was on the northern edge of the pipeline corridor. The kiln measured 2m (east–west) by 1.8m. The bowl was lined with limestone blocks averaging c. 0.3m long. A flue, to the south-west of the bowl, was constructed of large, regular stones with a flat lintel and measured 1.2m (north-west/south-east). It was 0.6m deep. Part of the flue had collapsed. A compact layer of white lime was excavated at the base of the kiln. One fragment of modern glass was found in this deposit.
