Description
1. 'A structure first noted on the edge in a bank of the Afon Rhiangoll at this site in 1924, was long considered to be a chambered tomb. Re-examination reveals this to be a ruined corn-drying kiln. Its rectangular kiln chamber abd the low, slab-roofed flue passage facing into the river gorge below, demonstrate the need for its re-interpretation'.

From Briggs, C.S. 1997, An Inventory of the Ancient Monuments in Brecknock (Brycheiniog), The prehistoric and Roman Monuments, Part i, p65.

2. Photographed during RCAHMW aerial reconnaissance on 2nd Sept 2005 (image ref: AP_2005_1836), with recent earthmoving/hedgeline removal in evidence, possibly disturbing scheduled monument.
