Description

The remains of a gypsum kiln, dating from the early to mid-19th century, are located at King's Mills, next to the southwest end of The Cottages. The kiln has been partially demolished and is now surrounded by later 19th-century walls, a 20th-century roof, and a 20th-century garage door. The structure features a red brick wall with three fireholes that taper back into the hillside, leading to hidden flues that likely run up the cliff face. In front of the fireholes, there is an enclosed area that contains a cellar. Most of the surrounding walls are made of later 19th-century brick, while the end adjacent to The Cottages includes fragments of an earlier dressed stone wall, which also has 20th-century garage doors.
