Description
The limekiln, located 250 meters south of Landlooe Bridge, dates from around the 1830s and is now disused. It is constructed from stone rubble and has a square plan with round dressed stone arches on the north and south sides. The southern arch is blocked at the rear, while the northern arch features an opening leading to a circular flue inside. The structure is built into the side of a bank, with the ground rising to the west to facilitate access to the top. It is situated approximately 75 meters west of the Liskeard and Looe Union Canal, which was established in 1825 to provide affordable transport for lime. As canal traffic increased, it was replaced by the Liskeard and Caradon Railway, authorized in 1843 and opened in 1846.
