Description

This record covers general observations and a number of general purpose buildings or buildings of which the function has not been identified. See individual PRNs for other buildings <1>

A small building is depicted on the OS 2nd edition map surveyed in 1900 at c SJ 26812 21885. There is now no visible trace. Its site lies to the south of, and below, an embankment which carried the main quarry tramway. Another small building is depicted at c SJ 26701 21704 on the OS 1st edition map 1874. Rough, low walling survives. Two further buildings are depicted in the vicinity of the north-eastern group of limekilns (at c SJ 2687 2187 and c SJ 2687 2188) and are possibly associated with them. ->

-> At c SJ 2678 2128 a structure is depicted on the OS 2nd edition map, revised in 1900, although no trace of a structure is now apparent in this location. Buried remains may, however, survive. The recorded location is to the south of the surviving remains of another structure, at c SJ 2678 2126. This is represented by a stone and concrete foundation measuring c. 13.5 by 11.8m and comprises raised plinths 0.6m wide set on a platform (vegetation clearance and preservation of this structure in situ is recommended). At c SJ 2675 2115 a building is depicted on the OS 1st edition map, and buried remains of this may survive <2>
