The National Monuments Service's description
This monument was subject to geophysical survey (Licence no. 09R195) and test excavation (Licence no. 10E0462) as part of the proposed Metro West development. A comma-shaped corn-drying kiln and the probable flue of a second corn-drying kiln were located to the S of an enclosure (DU014-122001-). The former (2.1m wide and 0.51m deep) contained three fills (O’Donovan 2010, 17).
