A roughly subcircular enclosure marked on the 1898-9 resurvey of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection to be a sheepfold (13m N-S; 10.8m E-W 10.8) made up of a single line of drystone walling (H 1.5m).

In hilly peatland in an area scattered with large natural boulders. Roughly oval in plan, this corn-drying kiln is defined by drystone walls (av. D 1m) and a circular bowl (diam. 2.8m; wall Wth 0.6-0.7m). The flue (L 1.1m; D 0.5m) is at the W end. The kiln was purposely hidden within a large group of boulders and it is not obvious in the landscape. It was concealed because it was associated with the illicit production of poteen and it probably dates from the late 19th to the early 20th century (McCarthy 1916, 13-16). A similar kiln (GA067-035----) lies c. 640m to the SE.

In hilly peatland in an area scattered with large natural boulders. Only the remains of the curving S end of the bowl (0.65 x 1.2m) of this corn-drying kiln survive. They were noted at the base of a field wall. The boulders used in the construction of the wall (H 1.3m; L 1.2m) were markedly larger than those used for the kiln. This kiln was purposely concealed in the landscape as it was associated with the illicit production of poteen. It probably dates from the late 19th to the early 20th century (McCarthy 1916, 13-16). A similar kiln (GA067-034----) lies c. 640m to the NW.

On a hilltop. This is a large roughly subrectangular sheepfold (86m E-W; 85m N-S). A number of low lintelled entry points allow entry/exit of stock. A sheep pen is located within the interior (information from D. McCarthy 2016).
