Described by Howard White (minerals officer, PPJPB) as having a small quarry at one end, the kiln is in the middle and a ramp leads out to the east. It is suggested it needs some conservation. (2)
Lime Kiln and Quarry which is not marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey map. It is recorded on the second edition as an 'Old Limekiln', suggesting it was either built, worked then disused between 1880 and c.1900, or simply missed from the first edition map. (3, 4)
