Reached by a footpath from the old Bostal road is this group of limekilns, probably five in total. On the other side of the footpath are the remains of a flint building and a levelled piece of ground probably to help loading onto waggons on the Bostal. There are pits nearby in the Lower Chalk (no flints, but with clay) at TQ133124 and TQ121121, as well as pits in the Upper and Middle Chalk (contains flints) at TQ126121.
