Lime Kiln About 480 Metres East Of Dartington Hall

The lime kiln, located about 480 metres east of Dartington Hall, is a disused structure dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed from local limestone rubble and built into a bank, with access for loading at a higher level at the rear. The front wall features a convex bulge, a low parapet, and a pointed arch opening to the kiln's interior, which has a corbel stone at the apex. Inside, the kiln has a vaulted swallow, and the opening at the back has been partially broken open. The circular kiln is open at the top and tapers towards the bottom, with calcified internal walls. In front of the kiln, a stone rubble wall creates a semi-circular enclosure with a central opening. Trees are growing on the top of the wall and the kiln itself. The kiln is situated near a disused quarry.
