Description

This is a square lime kiln made of shaped rubble stone, standing about 3 meters high and 6 meters wide, built into the slope of a hill. The southeast side features a large asymmetric kiln eye with a stone arch. The eye measures approximately 2 meters high and 2 meters deep, inclining to the left. The crucible is filled in but still visible, while the kiln walls are in deteriorating condition, particularly on the left side, as noted in 1997.
