Description

The Limekiln is a structure built from rubble stone, featuring a square plan with tapering sides leading to the southern kiln eye. A timber lintel, inserted in 1986, is present, but the walling above it is missing. The northern kiln eye is missing its lintel as well. The crucible has been infilled.
