The National Monuments Service's description
Archaeological excavation (03E0888) prior to roadworks recorded a corn-drying kiln as an irregularly-shaped cut (dims 2.9m x 1.1m; D c. 04m) containing a single charcoal-rich layer over layers of ash and burnt clay at the bottom. A large quantity of barley and lesser amounts of wheat and other grains were recorded. A calibrated radiocarbon date of AD 433-634 was produced by a sample of hazelnuts shells and an oats sample produced a calibrated date of AD 426-592). (Walsh 2012, 92-4)
