Description

These Lime Kilns appear on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan, but are not shown on the 2nd edition plan, indicating that they were probably out of use by 1895. The number of kilns is unclear, but it appears from the historic map evidence to be a battery rather than individual kilns.
