The National Monuments Service's description
Built into a slope on the S bank of the Flesk River. The kiln has a random rubble N-facing front wall (H c. 3.8m; Wth 3.2m) with a central arched recess (H 2m; Wth 1.45m; D 1.65m) with sloping slabs to the rear. Two walls (max. H 1.9m), which retain the slope, abut the front of the kiln at right angles to it at either side of the recess. The top of the kiln is inaccessible.
