was this for cremation?
Are you sure it wasn't just occupied?
wooden doors and heat dont mix
thats how fires get started.
I'm sure there had to be some insulation on the back of the door.
Was there motts?
Wow. The final step in life. I wonder what the drain was for????
I didn't look behind the doors, they might have been lined with some kind of heat resistant material.
Those doors look like they could be made of metal... brass or bronze?

The kiln wouldn't be very hot from the outside, actually. Kiln brick is extremely insulating. It is the radiant heat that is dissipated during cooling that really builds up.
haha "The way is shut. It was made by those who are dead, and the dead keep it."

just thought of it...
yes,those bricks retain a lot of heat,unless they did this some other way.
Fires are burned in brick-lined ovens.
When the fire goe out,the debri is removed
and the bread is baked on residual heat--all
day.
Don't know if that would be desireable here.
Quite a little operation they had going here.
Denied!
looks like a fireplace
chestnuts roasting on an open fire.da dah da da dah!
