The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, built into a NE-facing slope. The front wall (H 3.4m; Wth 3.6m) faces ESE. The central arched recess (H 1.65m; Wth 2m) is partly infilled. The overall plan is trapezoidal, being 3.6m wide at the front, 5m wide at the rear and 10m in length. An area in front of the kiln has been recently levelled, revealing large quantities of burnt material. An enclosure (KE058-032----) is c. 40m to the WNW.
