Description
This is an early 18th-century lime kiln.
The building features coursed, rubble stone walls, a lime-stained red-brick ceiling, and an earth-covered roof. It has a square plan with two side-by-side chambers oriented north to south, interconnected by two low-level draw eyes visible from the eastern chamber. This chamber includes doorways to the east and south, facing the River Arun. On the western side, a bank rises to meet the top of the western chamber, where there would have been an opening for charging layers of charcoal and chalk, though this opening is now overgrown and not visible.
The kiln stands approximately 5 meters tall with walls around 11 meters long. The doorways are round-headed and feature a red brick architrave, although the top of the southern doorway is damaged.
Inside, the eastern chamber has a barrel-vaulted ceiling made of brick in a heading bond, with a U-shaped metal bracket at the center. The end and side walls are made of coursed stone up to about 1.5 meters high. The wall connecting the two chambers has two round-headed brick draw eyes set in a brick panel, and the floor is made of packed earth. The western chamber has likely been infilled with earth.
