A circular stone-built kiln (diam. 3.6m; H 2.3m) recessed into rising ground 15m S of the Douglas River. A semicircular recess (D 1.6m), with a lintelled opening (Wth 1.45m; H 1.4m), faces N towards the river. The site of a holy well (SL027-095----) lies c. 15m to the N, on the N side of the river.
