Loughlohery Castle, kiln in County Tipperary

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

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.
