Type and Period (2)
Protected Status/Designation
Full Description
Peak Park photographic record. (1-3).
Drystone, roughly circular, structure constructed from limestone blocks. The kiln is built backing onto an excavated hollow, which is open to the north. The kiln is approximately five metres high and seven metres in diameter. The opening to the kiln is still apparent on the north facing side, although the interior is infilled with rubble. Presumably the flue was directly above the centre of the kiln, but has now been demolished to ground level, which has left a depression approximately two metres deep in the centre of the kiln. (4-7).
Grade II listed lime kiln dating from the early 19th century and constructed from rubble limestone. It is approximately fifteen feet tall and is set into a cutting in the hillside. (8).
Well preserved pit-type quarry with ramp down the working floor. There was former rail access nearby. The kiln's radial flues and entrance tunnel are visible. (9)
