The National Monuments Service's description

Two kilns of probable Viking age were recorded in the excavations outside the N defences of the enclosure (WA009-019----). One is a sub-rectangular depression (dims 1.04m x 0.98m; D 0.3m) filled with charcoal-flecked clay and surrounded by oxidised clays. The perimeter is surrounded by three post-holes. The other is a sub-rectangular depression (dims 1.9m x 1.6m; D 0.3m) filled with three layers containing charcoal lumps and lenses of baked clay. Four post-holes and 17 stake-holes are associated with it. (O'Brien at al. 2005, 37, 41)
