The limekilns were illustrated by revd john swete towards the end of the 18th century and ceased to be worked around 1900. In 1795 the freehold was offered for sale of a plot of ground, ‘on which a lime kiln now stands; situate on the strand’, in the possession of ‘samual bass, shipbuilder’. They are constructed of limestone and sandstone with brick voussoirs around the drawoles. There are four original drawholes that have been blocked with limestone and (two with) ceramic drain pipes. The limekiln has been extended to the south with the addition of an extra drawhole and the top of the original drawhole has been raised using sandstone (further garden walling has also been undertaken in places along the top edge) (exeter archaeology).
