Cadw's description
Location
Built against the embankment of the canal, W of bridge No 130, 500m approx. N of the Nags Head Public House.

The kiln bank was probably first established c1810, and is a comparatively early type, with narrow openings to drawing hole vault, but brick arched vault.
Exterior
Rough stone retaining walls to bank, with the brick arched openings of the drawing hole vaults for four kilns; charging holes also survive at the top of the bank.
Reason for designation
A relatively complete survival of an early type of kiln bank, and of special interest for its association with the Montgomeryshire Canal.
