Kiln in Julianstown West, County Meath

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

What is recorded here

Lime kiln, built c.1780, with random rubble stone walls and a red brick segmental-arched opening.

This lime kiln is a physical reminder of the industrial history of Julianstown. Limestone was quarried at the quarry to the east of this site and removed to the kiln to extract the lime. Located on the bank of the River Nanny where there was a fresh water supply, the lime may also have been silted at this site.
