Most of the tamar kilns now remaining were built between 1770 and 1830. They are generally slate built and distinguished by a bold round entrance arch, usually keyed with a heavy granite stone. Twin kilns by the river's edge at hole's hole. Two shallow depressions mark where the wells have been filled. Used as an air raid precaution post in the last war (booker).
