Yamanto Brick Kiln

I know very little about this brickworks; in particular; what it was called. 

I would welcome further information

1928 TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP OF KILN AREA The Fassifern Branch runs from north to south throughout the area. Source: Qld State Archives.
SAME AREA FROM ABOVE, THE PRESENT DAY. The star shows where the map says the kiln was located. To the right is the curve of railway line called the "Cape Horn Deviation". Underlay: Qld Globe (Ausmap). Overlay: QGIS Vectors (Alister J Cameron)
CLOSE-UP OF THE SITE. The dotted line represents the original trajectory of the railway line before deviation. Probably long gone by the time the kiln was erected.

Bricks

BRICK FRAGMENT WHICH I FOUND ON THE SITE 2019 I haven't been able to match the frog with any others in my collection.
ANOTHER BRICK FRAGMENT FOUND AT THE SITE 2022 It is a Petrie kiln brick (John Petrie) and probably would have been imported from Brisbane to build the kiln.
AS AN EXAMPLE, ABOVE IS A MORE COMPLETE PETRIE BRICK FOUND ELSEWHERE IN THE IPSWICH REGION. From my collection.
