Situated on East bank of River Teifi, by high water mark, some 50m SW of Old Castle Farmhouse.

History

Exterior

Limekiln in coursed, tooled blue lias stone. Large scale, built into bank with three-sided, near-square plan, the E and W faces pierced by tall kiln-eyes, to nearly full height; the kiln-eyes are triangular above straight lower jambs and recede within to a small ground-level openings into main crucible. Main crucible is circular, tapering outwards from base to top and top platform is grassed with low parapet walls surviving on W and S sides.

A lime-kiln of unusual scale and quality, and one of the very few with the crucible still left open.
