The National Monuments Service's description
Not included in the SMR (1989) but listed in the RMP (1995) and classified 'Lime Kiln'. Not marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. In pasture, built into a natural slope. This is a late 19th-/early 20th-century rectangular stone structure (L 5m; Wth 4m; H 4m) with a splayed recess (Wth 1.8m; H 1.55m; D 1.4m). The funnel (diam. 2.7m) is infilled and the top is visible. This is probably post-1700 AD in date.
