The National Monuments Service's description
In 2002, archaeological monitoring (Licence No. 02E0404) took place in advance of a proposed quarry development. Three features uncovered near a low hillock, the highest point of a low gravel ridge, in an area measuring 40m in diameter, were interpreted as possible corn-drying kilns and were subsequently archaeologically excavated (Licence No. 02E0450). However, no flues were identified, and, although the features were associated with in situ burning, they could not be classified as corn-drying kilns. (www.excavations.ie)
