Cadw's description
Location
At the entrance to Kiln Park caravan site, at the N side close to the filling station, on the E side of the A4139. The kiln is related to the extensive Black Rock quarries at its rear.
Exterior
History: This kiln is the survivor of two marked here on the Tithe Map of 1841.
Description: A single limekiln built against the N side of a small quarry face, with working openings at E and W. Approximately semi-circular in plan, with a small low buttress at the N. Brick-lined. Partially collapsed at E. Internal diameter about 3 m.
Listed as an intact example of a limekiln surviving from the early period of the important lime-burning industry at the Black Rock quarries, and for group value with the other kilns on what is now known as Kiln Park.
Reference: Tithe Survey of Penally (1841).
