Remains of lime kilns, now disused. They are thought to have been built in circa 1750 by Robert Scott of Duninald, and are situated on a coastal promontory that is now suffering from erosion. The group comprises a four-draw kiln and another, possibly three-draw, with a two-draw kiln set back to the rear (this is now buried within an earthen mound). The draw arches are semi-circular and the shafts are stone-lined, allowing them to withstand continuous firing over long periods. There is a retaining wall to the South of the kilns. When Hume visited the site in 1977, the kilns were intact. Following a coastal zone assessment survey of Angus in 2009, it was noted that parts of the limekilns had collapsed. A recommendation was made that the limekilns should be surveyed, as the site is under severe threat from coastal erosion. Erosion has caused a substantial portion of the South-West quadrant of the structure to collapse. Internal structures such as the stone-lined burning chamber of the four-draw kiln, a stone-lined duct, and the brick-vaulted interconnecting tunnels are also collapsing. In February 2010, a team from Queens University, Belfast, carried out terrestrial laser scanning of the kilns and their immediate landscape setting in order to create a detailed digital record of the kilns.
