NO 5045 7307. A possible kiln.
Information from F T Wainwright to Ordnance Survey 20 May 1956.
A possible 19th century storage pit (potatoes) or, as locally believed, an illicit still. An elongated drystone structure 2.5m long, built into the hillside, and tapering from 1.2m wide at the entrance to 0.5m in the bank. A small part is covered but the whole structure has been corbelled. The present wall is 0.8m high and the entrance is flanked by two large boulders, one of them 1.2m high. Similar structures are found elsewhere in the Angus glens, e.g. Waterhead: NO47SE 2.
