Full Description
A survey of the archaeological and historic features was undertaken within Abernethy Forest Reserve for the RSPB in 1995.
The remains of a circular stone-built structure, probably a corn-drying kiln with a total diameter of 6.9m, and an internal diameter of 3m. The west side of the feature remains clear but the north and east sides are obscured by tumble, either from associated features or from more recent clearance. The stones facing the interior, although obscured by vegetation, seem in good repair and are dressed. The flue opening is at 350° NW and is approximately 0.5m wide but its length is obscured by a large fallen tree. The total length of the feature, including tumble is 10.2m N/S and the maximum height internally is 0.7m. <1>
