Cadw's description
Location
Situated on hillside just above South Haven.
History
Earlier C19 square limekiln, possibly built for the Dale Castle estate, owners of the island.
Exterior
Limekiln, rubble stone, square plan with single front kiln-eye, roughly triangular-headed with stone slab lintel.
Reason for designation
An intact example of the single kiln-eye type of lime-kiln, similar to the one on Skomer Island, but generally rarer than those with two opposed kiln-eyes.
