What is recorded here
Freestanding rubble stone triple limekiln, built c.1860, now disused. Open furnace with limestone lintel to front (west) elevation. Loading shoot to the rear of façade.
The survival of a limekiln in such a good state of repair is a rare occurrence. Such structures stand as testament to the major period of agricultural and industrial expansion in Ireland of the nineteenth century. It forms part of a group of demesne related structures with the gate lodges, farmyard complex and ice house, which were built to meet the requirements of the grand and extensive Blarney demesne.
