The National Monuments Service's description
Not included in the SMR (1989) but listed in the RMP (1995) and classified 'Lime Kiln'. This mid/late 19th-century limekiln is built against the slope and lies adjacent to the road. It is a square structure (2.5m x 2.4m) with rounded corners. The front elevation (H 3m) has a recess (Wth 1.6m; H 1.85m; D 1.3m). The diameter of the funnel measures 2m and the top of kiln (int. 2.5m x 2.5m) is enclosed by a stone wall (T 0.6m). This is probably post-1700 AD in date.
