Full Description

A former lime kiln and chalk extraction pit of likely post-medieval date are marked in this location on the 2nd edition 25" Ordnance Survey County Series map. The kiln is labelled as an 'Old Limekiln', suggesting it was no longer in use at the time of the survey. {1} The former extraction pit can be clearly discerned as extant earthworks on the Google Maps satellite imagery layer and on recent LiDAR data for this area. Elements of the kiln appear to also survive, though in a likely ruinous form. {2}{3}
