HER Number:MDV60498
Name:Lime kiln south-west of Instow

Summary

A curving wall is visible next to the waterfront on aerial photographs between 1945 and 1960, and it is presumably the ruins of the post-medieval or modern kiln marked on late nineteenth century mapping. It is not visible on later available aerial photographs and may have become a victim of coastal erosion.
