Monument record MDO882 - Lime kiln at Chickerell
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A lime kiln shown on the 1839 tithe map, and recorded as ‘old limekiln’ on the first edition (1886-9) and second edition (1900-1902) Ordnance Survey maps, as well as revised maps from 1927 and 1938. The date of this kiln is not known but it is most likely to be early nineteenth century. The site was visited in 1992-93 by Peter Stanier, who noted that some (40-59%) of the kiln survived in fair condition, and that it had a round, brick-built draw arch. A more recent visit by Cotswold Archaeology confirmed that the kiln survives in fair condition.
