The remains of a possible malting kiln was revealed immediately east of the dovecote (see PRN30336). The remains were comprised of two side by side chambers, linked with a flue. The westerly chamber was 6 feet by 5 feet with sloping walls and survived to a height of 4 feet. There was a floor of stone slabs, once replaced. Chamber two was fan-shaped with a stone slab floor, 4ft higher than chamber one. Dating was hard to determine though it was suggested that it was part of the same complex as the dovecote, and therefore possibly 17th century in date. Both barley and wheat grains were found in samples taken of the fill, and the feature was therefore interpreted as a malting kiln. {1}
