Cadw's description
Location
Prominently situated on roadside opposite beach.
History
Probably early C19, but not specifically shown on 1845 Tithe map. Various breaks in the masonry suggest ongoing repairs in the C19.
Exterior
Large rubble built D-plan kiln constructed partly against slope with kiln-opening to each side. The openings were possibly of the usual pointed form originally, but recessed segmental arches set above springing-level suggest later remodelling: stone voussoirs.
Disused, but has been recently restored.
Reason for designation
Prominent and important relic of local industry.
