The National Monuments Service's description
Archaeological testing (04E1383) by A. Hayden on a large development site of about 8 hectares (c. 20 acres) uncovered evidence of furrows at its N limit, and more complex evidence of medieval fields at its SW edge (Hayden 2004). Further excavation under the same licence (Hayden 2005) recorded a rectangular stone-walled structure, this kiln and a sod-walled structure. (excavations.ie 2004:1207). The kiln is located c. 4m NW of the stone-footed building (ME051-044001-), and outside its cutting. This is a subrectangular pit (dims 3.2m N-S; 1.2m E-W; max. D 0.45m) with an oxidised base at its S end. It was filled with stony cultivation soil with patches of charcoal and oxidized clay. (Hayden 2005, 8)
