Probably mid-C19. The kiln is marked 'limekiln' (implying that it was in use) on the Ordnance Survey map of 1871.
A single working recess limekiln, about 6 m wide and high. The stonework is limestone, straight fronted but with concave sides. The masonry is axe dressed, but the quoins are worked to a rock finish with dressed arrisses, both at the main corners and at the corners of the working recess. The arch over the working recess is in three half-brick rings.
The working hole is set unusually high up, above a segmental arch; the void of the kiln, which appears to be about 2.5 m diameter, is smaller than a kiln of this exterior size would suggest.
The 1871 map shows that the kiln was reached by a track at its north from Graig.
A well-preserved late example of a traditional lime kiln in its quarry context.
