Site of calciner depicted on 1895 survey. Documentary sources refer to an Oxland calciner in use at that time. Does not appear on 1892 map - probably not part of original arsenic works. Probably superceded by the Brunton calciners (PRN 43325) by 1897, when all traces would appear to have been removed. Other details: Fig 7. Survey - Spring/Summer 1988.

There are no above ground remains of the building, which appears to have been demolished when the four calciners were built. Other details: Figure 36, site 44.
