Asset Overview

A 3D model of a kiln barn at Upper Gairloch, on the Raiders Road that runs through the Galloway Forest Park. We cleared off vegetation and investigated through the excavation of test pits by local volunteers in March 2019 as part of the Can You Dig It community archaeology project. The kiln barn was first shown as a ruin on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey of 1852 so may date to the early 19th or late 18th centuries. The kiln was used to dry cereal crops, such as corn or oats, and the barn may have been used for either storage or possibly threshing.
