The National Monuments Service's description
Pre-development investigations in 2005 revealed a cluster of kilns including one keyhole-shaped feature with a perfectly circular chamber (Diam.2.60m, D 0.05m-0.24m) and a flue or passage which exited the chamber on the W. The upper stone of a rotary quern was also uncovered (Bolger 2009, 32-33).
