Description
SAMPFORD PEVERELL WHITNAGE ROAD, Sampford Peverell ST 01 SW 8/158 - Lime kilns at Pretty Bench Quarry - II Lime kilns. C19. Local sandstone conglomerate rubble. Triple draw kiln with 3 draught tunnels facing south-west. Each tunnel has a low elliptical outer arch and similar lower inner relieving arch. The draw pits are enclosed by rusted iron bars. The front wall rises to the remains of a rubble parapet. The kiln pits have been infilled to avoid danger to stock. At the right (south-east) end is a leanto storage room now missing its roof. At the back (north-west) the new road works impinge very closely on the kiln and conceal that side and any evidence of a loading ramp. The kiln is reported to have been operating as a lime kiln up to circa 1920.
