Full Description
A desk-based assessment and walkover survey of Cuil, on the shore of Loch Linnhe, Lochaber, was carried out in 2010 by N Malcolm for RCAHMS' 'Scotland's Rural Past Project'. In the north-west corner of a Balnagowan House's garden there was a corn drying kiln. The outer opening of the air vent was visible but not the inner as there was an accumulation of debris within the bowl of the kiln. The lip of the kiln was oriented to the south-west. It was stone lined but largely covered by grass <1> <2>
See HES Canmore record (link below) for photo and plan of the kiln.
