Why it mattered
kiln — GRAWKY matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This interesting double lime kiln, originally erected during the second half of the nineteenth century, survives in good condition and retains its early character. Its form consisting of two adjoining lime kilns, and it is unusually substantial and well-built for its type. It is well-built using local rubble stone masonry and is an appealing and unassuming element of the agricultural/industrial and social heritage of County Donegal. The brick lining to the over apertures is and interesting feature that indicates its relatively late date. The embankment to the rear was built/modified to allow for the easy loading… This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
