Walled Enclosure at Craiglas Lime Kilns

The Walled Enclosure at Craiglas Lime Kilns consists of four lime kilns built into a bank and connected by rubble stone walls that support the bank. The kilns, made of rubble stone and approximately 4 meters high, are unusually rectangular in shape and all have open crucibles in poor condition. Kiln 1, located to the southwest, measures about 7 meters deep and 8 meters wide. It features three tall kiln eyes that are triangular and tapering, standing 2.5 meters high at the front and 2 meters deep.

The walled bank extends northeast approximately 9 meters to kiln 2, which is similar in size to kiln 1 and has similar kiln eyes, but it is reinforced with rough rubble stone buttresses on each side of the west corner. Continuing northeast, the bank extends about 7 meters to kiln 3, which resembles kiln 1 but has a rough rubble stone buttress on the northwest side of the west corner. Kiln 3 shares a large kiln eye with kiln 4, which is only 1 meter away. Kiln 4 is smaller than the others, measuring only 5 meters wide, and has a rough rubble stone buttress on the northeast side of the north corner.

To the southeast of kiln 1 is a walled enclosure constructed of rubble stone, measuring approximately 10 meters by 10 meters and standing 3 meters high. The wall is 0.5 meters thick and features a large gate made of spear-headed iron railings on the northeast side. Additionally, there are several stone and timber structures on the beach that may have served as quays or shelters for boats unloading lime.
