Description
Lime kiln. Likely built in 1812, with few later alterations. It is constructed of roughly coursed slatestone rubble with brick dressings.
The kiln has a large square plan, with its front directly facing the beach and a slipway running alongside its right side. The kiln is built into the bank at the rear to facilitate loading of material into the kilns at the top, which are now filled in. The front elevation is blank. The right side, facing Canton, has two round-arched openings with brick dressings, containing a 20th-century plank door. The left side and the rear have no openings.
In 1812, John Pill leased land to Richard Nicholls for the construction of a lime kiln and lime house.
