| source data:- | courtesy of English Heritage "Lime kiln. Probably later C19, and probably by a professional mason. Large coursed blocks of sandstone rubble, with quoins. Square plan, built against slope. Approx. 2.6 metres high, battered, and stepped back slightly above the draw hole, which is 1.75 metres high and slightly tapered. Some coping stones missing." "INTERIOR: round-ended draw hole with roof of 3 large stone slabs. Good example of its type, relatively well preserved; very similar to lime kiln approx. 100m south-west of High Croft (qv). Conspicuous feature of the landscape at this point in Dentdale." |
