Description

Garn Limekiln No. IV is a notable single limekiln constructed from rubble limestone masonry. It measures approximately 8 meters in width and stands about 5 meters high. The front wall is straight with a slight curve on the left side. There is a segmental main arch over the working area, featuring two kiln working holes: one with a rough arch on the left and the other with a lintel on the right, separated by a thin pier of masonry. Although the top of the kiln has collapsed, the interior diameter was around 4 meters. Additionally, there is a remnant of a stone hut, measuring 2 meters by 3 meters, located 50 meters to the north, on the opposite side of the path.
