Lime Kiln. Early C19. Rubble carboniferous Limestone. Tapering square Kiln body, set
into a limestone outcrop to the rear (north-east). Kiln approx 6 metres square, with
central semi-circular arched entry into kiln draw passage. Semi-circular arch with dressed
limestone voussoirs. Draw hole with canopy flagstones supported by iron bars. Kiln
chamber lined with sandstone, now partially collapsed. The kiln was constructed by the
Wilkinson family, who were iron makers, after the Witherslack enclosure award of 1829,
presumably to supply burnt lime for the improvement of land for agricultural
improvement. A well preserved and complete example of early C19 kiln construction.
