What is recorded here

Freestanding single-bay single-stage rubble stone lime kiln, c.1800, on a square plan. Now disused. Random rubble stone walls with lime mortar. Segmental-headed opening to oven with squared sandstone voussoirs, and soffits/lining not visible. Set back from road, and part engaged into slope of hill.

A pleasant, small-scale artefact of industrial heritage significance on account of its original intended purpose as a communal facility for the preparation of lime. Although now long disused, and partly reclaimed by the surrounding landscape, the lime kiln, marked as “Carrigegan” on the Ordnance Survey, continues to enhance the historic character of the locality.
