What is recorded here

Lime kiln, built c. 1800, with slightly battered random rubble limestone walls having dressed quoins and dressed voussoirs and quoins to segmental-arched opening. Set into sloping ground.
This is an interesting example of a turn-of-the-nineteenth-century limekiln, built into limestone rock. The survival of the original form and fabric of this kiln make it is a physical reminder of industrial and agricultural history, as the lime product was widely used as a fertiliser.
