A row of old lime kilns next to the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal at Gilwern. These must have been fed by one or more of the many limestone quarries high on the hill to the west and may have reached here by one of the local tramways, before being roasted and transported by barge for agricultural fertiliser etc.
