This lime kiln forms a notable component part of the demesne landscape of Loughbawn House. It is a physical reminder of industrial and agricultural activity in the area and was probably employed to produce lime for land improvement on the estate. The diamond details add a decorative element to an otherwise utilitarian structure.
