Kiln
Situated immediately above the beach at Loch Garenin, this sub-rectilinear drystone and earth construction measures 7.0 metres by 5.0 metres. The structure is in a ruinous state, and has at its east end the remains of a kiln that is siad to have been used to dry cereal crops (pers. Comm. J MacGreggor (sic)). Better examples of such kilns may be seen at monument 36 and 99, both of which are morphologically similar to this site.
