Full description
Torbay HER record (SMR record). SDV361984.
The limekiln is marked as "Old limekiln" on the 1864 OS County Series First Edition 1:2500 contained on a Torbay HBSMR GIS layer. It is triangular c. 21m x 35m. The adjacent quarry isMTO 21529 (formerly SX85NE/48).
It is also shown on the subsequent OS Surveys of 1890, 1933 but not that of 1963.[1][2][3]
The kiln is situated on the path adjacent to the new antelope enclosure. In 1999 it was highly visible and in good condition. It appears to have been repointed and the vegetation managed; an information board was present until shortly before the site visit.[4]
