Summary
A lime kiln 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 almost all (80-90%) of the kiln survived in fair condition, and that it had double rounded, brick-built draw arches.
