Pen-y-Foel Limekilns

Pen-y-Foel Limekilns is a large masonry structure approximately 6 meters high, featuring four kilns with ramped revetment walls that are built against the hillside. The site includes a level loading platform with four brick-lined kiln openings, of which only the southern aperture reaches full height; the other three are broken and partly filled. The main wall is constructed with large dressed stones for the vertical buttresses and outer quoins, and there are four brick-arched drawholes facing east. In front of the right-hand drawholes, there is a narrow masonry platform designed for loading the burnt lime onto railway wagons. Inside, the rear of the brick-lined kilns has low interconnecting arches.
