One of several limekilns at this location in c1876-85. It was 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 rubble limestone masonry. About 8m in width, about 5m high. Straight front wall with a slight curve at left. Segmental main arch over the working area. Two kiln working holes with rough arch to the left, lintel to the right, separated by a thin pier of masonry.
The top has collapsed but the interior diameter was about 4m.
Remnant of a stone hut, 2m by 3m, 50m to the north, on the opposite side of the path.
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.
