Cadw's description
Location
Set back, along a track, from the N side of a country road running between Penmon and Glan-yr-afon, NNE of the village of Llangoed. The limekiln is situated at the side of the trackway, to the SW of Plas Newydd.
History
Probably late C18 or early C19 limekiln and sheds.
Exterior
Substantial remains of a small limekiln, built to a circular plan with chute facing the trackway to the S. Abutting the rear (N) wall is a 2-bay, open fronted lime-shed built against the quarry face, with roof (now profiled sheeting) supported on limestone piers.
Reason for designation
Listed as a good, and well preserved, example of a limekiln which is of particular interest for the rare retention of adjoining lime-sheds.
