Description
This is a limekiln, likely built in the early 19th century, located to the east of Hillside Cottage and south of Sandyfield in Grange-over-Sands. It is constructed from limestone rubble with a brick lining and has a roughly square shape, built into the hillside with battered sides. At the lower level, there is a chamber featuring a segmental vault. The brick lining of the kiln can be seen through a stoke hole at the rear. The entrance to the lower chamber is partly obstructed by a rubble wall that includes a doorway with a stone lintel.
