Description
Atcherley Lime Kilns are rectangular industrial structures made of coursed squared stone, built into the slope of a hill. The left front wall is in serious decay, leaving only two of the original three kiln eyes visible. The kilns were originally about 20 meters wide and 8 meters high, with retaining walls on either side. There is a large supporting buttress immediately to the right of the central kiln eye, and three iron girders are located in the wall above and to the left of the kiln eye on the right. The kiln eyes measure approximately 2.5 meters wide and 3 meters high, featuring semi-circular arches made of cut stone. Inside, the kilns are 3 meters deep, tapering to 2 meters high at the back, and they retain ironwork for stoking holes and crucible access. The open round crucibles are about 3 meters wide and 7 meters deep, lined with small yellow fire bricks. The crucible on the left is in deteriorating condition as of 1997. There are also remains of a small building to the right rear, which may have been a lime-burner's hut.
