Lime Kiln, Wainmans Bottom, In Front Of Carr Head

The lime kiln at Wainmans Bottom, in front of Carr Head, is likely a late 18th century draw kiln constructed from roughly dressed coursed stone. It is built into a steep slope that has likely been artificially enhanced, featuring a charging ramp on the left side. The kiln has a semi-circular shape with an elliptical arched entrance that is approximately 1.5 metres high. The total height of the structure is around 4 metres, rising just above the upper ground level. Above the entrance, there is a pointed relieving arch. The interior was overgrown at the time of inspection, but it includes an internal chamber that possibly has a ledge at the rear. This kiln is noted to be one of the remaining 15 in the vicinity near local becks.
