The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture, on an E-facing slope adjacent to the W shore of Lough Arrow. Listed in the RMP (1995) as a 'Brick kiln,'. This feature is immediately south of a possible kiln (SL040-168001-) and is barely discernible. It is evident as a slight rise or surface irregularity (diam. c. 2m) located within a sub-rectangular area (c. 10m NE-SW x c. 7.5m NW-SE). The exact nature of this feature is unknown. There is no evidence to suggest that these are the remains of a brick kiln and there is no local information of such. Immediately N is a possible kiln (SL040-168001-), to the NE a platform-like area (SL040-0168004-) and to the W the remains of a house (SL040-168003). Although the date of these features cannot be determined with any degree of accuracy it is likely that they date to the post-AD 1700 period.
