This kiln-barn is set into the SW end of a ridge on the E bank of the Little Water of Fleet. The bowl of the kiln is levelled into the ridge and measures 3m in diameter by 1.5m in depth; the flue is not visible but is likely to have been on the SW. The barn lies on the NE of the bowl, on a level with the lip of the kiln, and extends for 3.2m to the NE by 3.6m across, within faced-rubble footings 0.8m in thickness and 0.3m high. The 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Kirkcudbrightshire 1852, sheet 37) depicts the kiln with an open circle, labelled as an 'Old Corn Kiln'.
