Full Description
A project to survey and record archaeological features at Inverlaidnan and Sluggan (originally named Inchluin) was undertaken by NOSAS members in 2018.
Site 68. Corn drying kiln. The remains of a corn drying kiln and barn are situated on top of a large knoll beside the main farmstead at East Sluggan (site 69). The kiln and barn are aligned SW-NE and measure c. 14m x 5m overall. The structure comprises a bowl at the SW end, a firepit and the barely discernible turf walls of a barn at the NE end. The bowl is 1.2m deep x 4.4m in diameter at the top (1.2m at the bottom); it has evidence of a scarcement around its upper edge. The firepit is 3.2m in length x 2m in width x 1m deep. A well graded access track ascends the south slope of the knoll to the kiln. <1>
