Description
Freestanding single-oven single-stage lime kiln, extant 1840, on a circular plan. Now disused. Part creeper- or ivy-covered soldier coursed rubble stone walls with concrete or rendered coping to parapet. Single round-headed oven with limewashed voussoirs. Set in relandscaped grounds.
Appraisal
A lime kiln representing an integral component of the industrial heritage of south County Wexford: meanwhile, a benchmark remains of additional interest for the connections with cartography and the preparation of maps by the Ordnance Survey (established 1824).
