What is recorded here
Lime kiln in Drummond came out of its restoration with castle battlements. A fierce promotion for something that used to cook stones: next it'll be demanding three sheep from everyone passing through the crossroads.
Square-plan lime kiln, built c.1800, built into bank, recently restored and rebuilt. Roughly dressed stone walls, some dressed snecked new stonework with castellated parapet. Round arch with rusticated voussoirs and keystone to fire opening, rubble stone to soffit. Situated close to crossroads.
This restored lime kiln is an industrial feature of technical interest, originally built to supply lime for construction. Lime kilns are notable structures of industrial archaeology and represent the material culture and technology of previous generations within the area. The recent restoration differentiates the old from the new stonework. It has a strong local presence due to its siting adjacent to the busy R179 (Carrickmacross-Kingscourt) road.
