This corn-drying kiln is situated on the sloping SE bank of the Greenan Burn in Stewarthall Wood, some 270m NW of Kilwhinleck farmsteading (NS06SE 30). It comprises a coursed dry-stone bowl, measuring about 2.4m in diameter and up to 1.3m in depth, which is set within an oval mound measuring 6.6m from NE to SW by 5.7m transversely that is partly faced with stone. The flue is in the NW side and a low mound here may represent material removed from it. A slot in the SE side of the mound is probably an excavation trench. The kiln was excavated by J and W Hunter in 1934 and the findings were published in 1935 by J N Marshall.
