Kiln frontage with two corbelled draw-holes and a lean-to annexe on the NE side. The heavy foliage which is progressively damaging the structure is evident. (Colin Martin)

The paired draw-arches of the Sailean A kiln. Scale 2 metres. (Colin Martin)

Explosives store building and annexe, looking NW. It is equidistant from the Sailean A and B kilns, about 200m from each, but lies on the Sailean B side of the estate boundary separating the two enterprises. A small roofed building with two attached enclosures is shown here on the 1st Edition OS 6-inch map (1871-2), though they are not entirely compatible with the present structures. (Colin Martin)

S corner of the coal compound at Sailean B. The iron stanchion was a support for a wall-top fence about half a metre high, visible in the Beveridge photograph of 1883. This was no doubt to secure the coal from pilfering. (Colin Martin)
