Lime Kilns on Van Road

A kiln bank sited on sloping ground in order to utilise the natural gradient for charging at the top and drawing at the bottom. The walls were original faced with hammer-dressed stone, most of which is now robbed out, leaving core stonework exposed. On the downhill side are 3 semi-circular draw arches. The arches are infilled with spoil, except on the R side where the cast iron lintel above the draw hole remains visible.

At the charging level is a single circular filling hole and a second much wider filling hole with straight sides and round ends, probably made by combining 2 former circular kilns. This larger kiln is therefore served by 2 draw holes.
