II*
Limekiln. Early C19, enlarged later C19. Roughly-coursed large squared
rubble with cut quoins and dressings; brick voussoirs to transverse passage
arches, eyes and lining of pots. Plan: massive rectangular structure c.30
metres x 18 metres with charging ramp to south; the eyes of the eight integral
kilns all open onto a central north-south passage; additional airflow from
three smaller transverse passages.
External walls slightly battered. North end shows tall central pointed arch
with alternating jambs; side walls each show three smaller round arches, that
to north the smallest. Overall height c.18 metres. At south end sloped-down
retaining walls to end of charging ramp. On top four pairs of pots, elliptical
on plan.
Interior: Central passage has ashlar pointed vault; on each side 4 segmental-
headed drawing arches, with projecting sills, and twin segmental-headed eyes
with a pilaster between. At south end of passage a shaft to the surface, now
capped. The 3 transverse passages have straight joints in their side walls
showing that the kiln has been widened.
One of the largest C19 limekilns in the country, and generally well preserved.
