Description

Hafod Limekiln is a limekiln dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century. It features a tapering stone rubble wall that measures 5.8 metres square. On the eastern side, which faces the canal, there is a discharge opening with a segmental brick arch. There is also a possible further opening in the southern wall and a vertical, full-height chase in the northern wall, which was used to bond with a lateral retaining wall. A copper slag charging bank was formerly located against the western and part of the northern elevations. As of 1978, it is one of only three remaining limekilns along the Swansea Canal.

Local climate

Hafod Limekiln sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,400 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 97% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 21 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 78% of listed buildings. Of these, 8 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
