The Malting (kiln) is a post-medieval industrial structure located in Huntingdonshire, England. The kiln represents the infrastructure of malt production, a process integral to brewing and distilling operations from the medieval period onwards, with this example dating to the post-medieval era. The monument survives as physical evidence of the agricultural processing industries that supported both domestic consumption and commercial enterprise in the region. Such malting kilns were purpose-built structures designed to dry germinated barley at controlled temperatures, and their archaeological presence indicates established centres of food and beverage production within the county.
