What is recorded here

Freestanding circular-plan lime kiln, built c.1900. Rubble limestone walls. Square-headed recess to north elevation having limestone lintel.

This is an interesting structure, its round plan and corbelled appearance being reminiscent of the medieval clochán or hermit's beehive hut. Lime kilns were a common feature in the Irish countryside, as lime was used in mortar, render and limewash and for fertilising of land. It forms part of an industrial group with the Vicomte de Basterot's flour mill located nearby to the north.
