Beehive kiln, Inchcoonans
One of two beehive kilns at the disused brickworks in Inchcoonans - now listed buildings(*). These were capable of firing up to 100,000 bricks simultaneously. A number of brickworks were situated in this area - an example of the relationship between geology and land use - local deposits of alluvial clay can be seen on the Geology of Britain viewer: http://mapapps.bgs.ac.uk/geologyofbritain/home.html
