Description
This pair of attached disused limekilns, dating from the early to mid 19th century, is located about 60 metres east of Shinners Bridge House in Dartington. Constructed from limestone rubble, the kilns are built into a bank with access for loading at a higher level at the rear. A masonry joint on the front wall indicates that the two kilns were not built at the same time, with the smaller kiln on the right likely being the earlier of the two. The front wall is flat and features a parapet, two strong courses, and two pointed arch swallows, each with a corbel stone at the apex. The left-hand swallow is larger, and the lower string-course does not continue over it. Inside, each swallow is vaulted, with a kiln opening at the back. The deep circular kilns are open at the top and taper towards the bottom. Vegetation is growing on top of the kilns, which are situated next to a disused quarry.
