Porthclais Limekilns white plaque

This white commemorative plaque records: PORTHCLAIS LIMEKILNS. Limestone was burnt in these kilns, as at every inlet where small sailing ships could find shelter to un-load. It was then taken by horse and cart for spreading on the fields; a little was used for mortar. About 1650 to about 1900

Porthclais Limekilns were crucial in producing lime for agricultural improvement and construction from the mid-17th to late 19th century, reflecting the local industry's role in supporting farming and building activities.
