What is recorded here

Freestanding limekiln, built c.1800, having round arch. Now disused. Dressed limestone walls with tooled limestone voussoirs to arch. Rubble stone walls elsewhere. Stoking aperture comprising red brick soffit with cast-iron door surround and hinges with iron grates to centres for lime and fuel.

This is an attractive and quite intact example of a late eighteenth-century/early nineteenth-century limekiln. It serves as a reminder of the industrial heritage of Corr na Móna [Cornamona]. It strategic position ensured easy transport on the river and a continuous airflow is assured by its siting on a hillock. The tooled limestone front enhances the appearance of the structure.
