Kiln
Nestled against a west facing rock this drystone structure measures 8 m by 3 m externally and is divided evenly in two internally by large stone orthostats. To the south of the division is an open room, to the north is a covered chamber with a flue on its east side. This chamber appears to be the intact chamber of a cereal drying kiln. Immediately to the east and northeast of this structure are large enclosed, platformed areas used for cultivation.
