Full Description

This kiln-barn lies c. 10m south of V57, and undoubtedly forms part of the same settlement. It is orientated N-S, measures 8m by 5m externally, with the kiln-bowl present within the northernmost 2m of the interior. The southern chamber is open, c. 2.5m across, and is entered from the S end of the E wall. The walls are of double-faced boulder construction with a cobble core, surviving up to 1.5m high, and use a large glacial erratic as a foundation at the SW corner. The S wall of the kiln-barn is abutted by the wall encircling Garry Iochdrach knoll (V100); a 2m wide gap lies between the two immediately N of the kiln-barn.
