Description
The lime kiln, which is disused, dates from the early 19th century and was heightened in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from rubblestone with large quoins and features cut stone round arches at the openings on the southwest and northeast sides. The kiln has a flat top and a rectangular plan, built into the side of a steep slope to allow for top loading. The openings on the southwest and northeast have deeply splayed reveals, which are blocked at the rear. The northeast elevation continues with a half-round arched opening that provides access to the northeast kiln and to a rubble stone shaft lined with brick inside. The kiln is located about 100 meters from Lerryn Quay on the south bank of the River Lerryn, an area that served as a port until the early 20th century.
