The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on an E-facing slope. A mid/late 19th-century limekiln built of random rubble. The front wall faces E. The central arched recess is of roughly shaped voussoirs with a well shaped keystone and is partly blocked by dumped material. There is a lower inner arch. A horizontal ledge crosses the face of the kiln above the recess. The ramp at the rear of the kiln has been truncated and is retained by a stone wall. A ring-barrow (KE059-017---) is c. 80m to the SW.
