What is recorded here
Detached lime kiln, built c. 1860, now a ruin. Rectangular-plan, extended to north with additional kiln c. 1870, ramp to east. Roughly squared coursed rubble limestone walling to south block, squared rubble quoins, random rubble waling to north block and ramp. Segmental-headed openings, red brick voussoirs. Disused quarry to north and east, site extremely overgrown.
This ruined lime kiln and associated quarry survive as reminders of traditional building practises in Ireland and the process of producing lime mortar. The good quality stonework attests to the skilled craftsmanship at the time of construction.
