Former Pig Roasting Oven

Eighteen metres to the northeast of the temple foundations are the remains of a brick and stone pig roasting oven (refer Figure 24: Site Plan). The structure (approximately 5 x 2 metres) is aligned east-west. The upper section has collapsed and it currently stands at 1.1metres high. The eastern end of the structure features a cylindrical brick and mortar hearth with stacked render framing the opening. The remaining structure is less formal in construction, comprising random-rubble stone and earth that has collapsed to the west.
