Another view of this unusual lime kiln. The kiln is also unusual as there is no outcrop of limestone in the vicinity, the nearest being the ridge of Magnesian limestone a mile or more to the east and on the other side of the river. The material for this kiln seems to have come entirely from the glacial debris on which the kiln stands. This low hill is full of carboniferous limestone erratics, some of which are still in a handy pile close to the kiln.
