Description
The lime kiln at Cleggars Farm is a semi-circular structure likely built in the 18th century. It is situated against the rock face on the south side of a small quarry. The kiln is constructed from uncoursed rubble limestone and has an interior diameter of about 3 meters. There are openings on the east and west sides that feature inspection and draw holes with corbelled sides. The lining of the kiln is made of vitrified fireclay, and it appears that it was never lined with bricks. The kiln was disused by the 1920s, and possibly much earlier. It is noted as the best-preserved example of a lime kiln in the area. Historical records indicate that in 1822, Paynter was allowed to burn lime from Cleggars, and by 1838, the field where the kiln stands was referred to as 'kiln park'. The kiln is also marked on the 1866 Ordnance Survey map.
