The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a lime-kiln on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a hachured feature on the 1925 ed. It is situated on a fairly level, low-lying landscape with a NE-SW stream in its valley just 20m to the SE. This is a surviving D-shaped and grass-covered portion of the mound of the lime-kiln (dims. of base 16.5m NE-SW; 10m NW-SE; dims of top 7m NE-SW; 1.3m NW-SE: H 1.3-2m), but it is not an antiquity.
