Large detached oven of uncertain date but associated with the monastery in whose
precinct it is built. Constructed of ashlar and rubble; exterior stone largely

headed doorway to centre of south-west face. Interior is c.1.75 m high and
c.3.95 m in diameter. The floor is constructed of tightly-packed stones; the
wall is constructed of ashlar and is of 3 courses with the top course shaped to
