Description
A grain kiln with a stable to the rear, dating from circa 1700. The building is constructed of coursed gritstone with a stone slate roof. It is a one-story structure with a partial basement, extending over three bays. The structure has large quoins, and a chamfered, quoined opening. Each side has a doorway, now a window, on the uphill side, with a row of blocked slit vents located below two small windows. The top gable features a broad cart entrance with rebated jambs and a massive lintel. The other gable has a small basement door beneath a blocked doorway and slit, with a square owl-hole.
The basement door leads, via a low passage containing niches, to a fire-chamber. An arch above the fire-chamber supports a grill formed by stone slats notched into stone joists; the kiln tiles have been removed. The rooms above are connected by chamfered, square-headed doorways. The interior retains original king-post trusses, twin purlins and a ridge. It was likely used for drying oats as well as corn. The kiln represents an exceptionally well-preserved example of this building type.
