The kiln is not depicted on the Tithe Map for Trusham. The field name of Blackley does not indicate the presence of a kiln.

The earthwork is obscure by tree cover.

A platform or terrace roughly 10m by 14m in size is visible as an earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, on the west-facing combe slopes to the east of Trusham village. The visible earthwork corresponds with the location of the former lime kiln depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25-inch map. The presence of a kiln is not depicted or inferred from field name evidence on the Tithe Apportionments for Trusham, and might therefore have been a shortlived 19th century operation. The earthwork is obscured from view by tree cover on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2016.
