Description
This pair of lime kilns, dating from the 19th century, is located in Hewelsfield Cliff Wood. They are constructed from squared coursed pennant sandstone and feature two chambers with segmental arches made of voussoirs, each spanning approximately 2 meters. There is a central dividing wall that is about 0.5 meters wide. Above the arches, there is around 2 meters of coursed stone leading to a rough top that has been affected by soil and encroaching trees and shrubs. The chambers are approximately 2.5 meters deep and appear to have been formed in one hemi-cycle, with a central divider and well-vaulted stone. Various single square apertures are present. The total width of the kilns is about 5 meters, and their height is around 4.5 meters. They are built into an earth slope and are heavily overgrown with trees and shrubs. The kilns are situated at the edge of a former quarry, which is also now completely overgrown as of September 1987.
