HES Survey and Recording 26 April 2018
Field Visit (17 October 2019 - 18 October 2019)
A corn-drying kiln (F; NR92NE 15) stands in the formerly cultivated ground 105m WSW of building E. It measures about 10m in diameter and up to 1.4m in height and contains a bowl 1.4m in diameter and 0.5m in depth, with a flue opening to the NE. A ‘mill stone’ identified in the previous survey (ACFA 15) is simply a fortuitously shaped slab which measures about 1m in length by 0.5m in breadth and 0.1m in thickness, but bears no evidence of wear, nor a central hole.
Visited by HES Survey and Recording (GFG, ATW, GLB) 17-18 October 2019.
