What is recorded here

Freestanding limestone limekiln, built c. 1830, having dressed walls. Segmental-headed opening to west elevation with limestone voussoirs having inset recessed segmental-headed arch with red brick voussoirs.
This solidly constructed limekiln is indicative of the quality of nineteenth-century craftsmanship. It serves as a physical reminder of the industrial heritage of the area. Set into a hill, limestone would once have been fed into the kiln from the top and lime drawn from the front.
