This limekiln appears as active on the c1830 1" Ordnance Survey map and on the 25" map of 1879. It appears as disused on the 25" map of 1913.
A bow-shaped limekiln built out from the hillside in axe-dressed local limestone, roughly coursed; two working recesses slightly angled, facing east and north. The east-facing recess is about 2½m. deep and has a segmental arch of about 2½m span; the north-facing recess is about 3½ m deep and its segmental arch is about 3m span. Both recesses are straight sided but corbelled over the working hole. Only the drawhole of the east-facing recess is visible, with an iron bar.
The kiln is lined in fire-brickwork one brick thick, of which the top 2 m is visible. It is about 2½m diameter at the top.
A very well-preserved limekiln of the early C19.
