Details Remains of a lime kiln. It measures 8.55m across the front, south-facing side, by circa 6.8m deep (north-south), and is up to 4.5m high. An updraft kiln with three draw holes to the south, east, and west. There is the stump of a flanking wall to the east, with two projecting stones just to the north of the draw-hole. Granite constructed, with quoins of reasonably well dressed squared blocks, and occasional blocks of very dark grey whin, particularly in the area of the mouths of the draw-holes. Vertical wall surfaces are well maintained, pointed up in cement, but the wall-heads and chamber somewhat overgrown. The chamber, which is about half filled-in with debris, is circular in plan, about 4m in diameter.
