What is recorded here
Freestanding square-plan limekiln, built c. 1820, no longer in use. Coursed rubble limestone walls. South wall recently re-built. Round-arched opening to west elevation with red brick voussoirs. Set into hillside.
Occupying a prominent position on a hillside, this rubble limestone kiln is a notable surviving example of its type and serves as a reminder of the importance such structures once held within rural communities. The skilled stone construction is of technical interest and the kiln is an eye-catching feature within the landscape.
