Description

This is a disused limekiln located approximately 150 metres south west of Dinah's Side, likely built in the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed from local stone rubble, including slate rubble. The limekiln features a flat front and rounded corners and is designed for top loading, with slightly battered walls. A drip course runs across the front above the central swallow opening, which has a pointed arch and a long timber lintel at the top. Inside, the swallow is corbelled, and at the back, there is a square stoking hole with a stone lintel. The kiln has been filled in from the top. On both the right and left sides of the front, there are low walls that likely remain from a shelter for the lime. This limekiln is one of two located on the foreshore of the creek; the other is illustrated in a watercolour painting from 1792 by John White Abbott, which depicts a cottage store and limekiln immediately to the west south west of Dinah's Side.
