@Reno: They are brick kilns, they dig the clay, form bricks, air dry them first and lay them around these structures and then set a fire inside. The heat hardens the brick!

They appear to be miles away from anywhere, probably as close as possible to the construction sites?

@Curly: They are about four miles from Kabul, very handy for all that reconstruction work happening in the city! Many thanks for your comments!
