Cadw's description
Location
Prominently located on the E side of the road leading S into Llanvaches from Wentwood Reservoir, between Millbrook and Rectory Road.
Exterior
A well preserved earlier C19 limekiln constructed in local sandstone rubble, with a pair of voussoired, segmental arched eyes served by a single flue through which the kiln was charged. The kiln is deeply cut into the bankside adjacent to the road.
Reason for designation
Listed grade II as a good surviving example of an earlier C19 kiln.
