The National Monuments Service's description
Incorporated into the west wall of the structure (DG089-018008) is keyhole-shaped feature visible as a circular, stone-lined depression, 0.6m in diameter, and a short passage, 1.1m long, leading into it from the west. These appear to be the remains of a kiln or furnace. (Walsh 1983, 60-1)
