On a gentle S-facing slope, c. 5m S of a what was a W-E lane from Cartron castle (RO052-002----), c. 600m to the W, to Athlone. This is a masonry chimney (dims of base 2.95m NE-SW; 2.45m NW-SE; H c. 10m) with a fireplace (Wth 1.5m; H 1.5m; D 0.95m) at ground level on the SE side. The masonry chimney is recessed in three stages as it rises, with an added brick stage at the top. Locally it is thought to have been from a malthouse associated with Cartron castle.
