Description

Dated 1814. Increasingly rare survival of substantial, well-preserved rectangular-plan disused single pot limekiln with 4 draw arches, located close to footpath and site of Craighall Castle at Craighall Den. Typical in plan and size of many limekilns of this date, built into raised ground to allow vehicular access for ease of loading limestone from above, and with arched openings at exposed faces.

Snecked rubble incorporating some carved stones probably reclaimed from Castle ruin. Segmentally-headed, voussoired draw arches, through passage to rear, battered angles.

S elevation overlooking footpath with single arched entrance at centre

below moulded datestone.
