- None recorded
Full Description
Pye kiln examples at Dam Cliff, Wheston and Wheston Hall are significantly different from other rectangular limekilns and are all found on one farm. They are noticeably wider than most of the other kilns studied and have a wide front opening instead of the usual drawing eyes. The significance of this is not known, but it may be to facilitate loading and unloading. (1)
