The National Monuments Service's description
Built into a S-facing slope outside the S wall of the bawn (CL016-011002-) surrounding Caislean A’Mhagaigh tower house (CL016-011001-). A corbelled limekiln (H c. 1.2m; Wth c. 3m) constructed of undressed limestone. It may be contemporary with the adjacent poorly preserved tower house (CL016-011001-). (Breen and Ua Cróinín 1997).
