One of several limekilns at this location in use in c1876-85. At this time it had a tramway connecting it to the quarry. Disused by 1906.
The landholding was a part of the Cawdor estate named Tir-y-garn (based on Garn farmhouse, 300m south-east).
A fine single limekiln in roughly squared but uncoursed limestone masonry. About 12m in width, about 7m high. Straight front wall with canted sides. Semicircular main arch over the working area. Two kiln working holes with inner semicircular arches, separated by a very thin pier of masonry.
The top has collapsed and the interior diameter is not apparent.
Small sunken forecourt with revetted wall around.
One of the better-surviving limekilns in an area of intensive C19 and C20 quarrying and lime-burning industry; one of an important surviving contemporary group.
