What is recorded here

Free-standing sub-circular plan lime kiln built c.1770. Rubble stone walls with recent concrete coping. Flat face to side (south-west) elevation. Square-headed opening having concrete lintel. Flat bottomed conical interior. Dug into side of hill with flue orientated towards lake.

This relatively small lime-kiln is important for its association with Ross Castle. The kiln has an excellent location, utilising a small hillock to form a bank to the rear and the flue orientated towards the lake to take advantage of the unobstructed winds. The kiln, used to provide lime for mortar and fertiliser which was used in Ross House and the surrounding demesne, is in relatively good condition and maintained by the current owners.

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