What is recorded here

Freestanding square-plan limestone limekiln, built c. 1810, having single-bay single-storey block to north. Rubble stone walls with round-headed arch to north elevation having red brick voussoirs. Round-headed entrance to north block, west elevation with red brick voussoirs. Square-headed window opening to north block, north elevation.
The construction of this limekiln, complete with adjoining outbuilding, suggests that this site, located within Clonshire Lodge demesne had expanded to become an important centre of industry in the area. Its survival is a rare and important legacy of an agricultural and industrial period in Ireland.
