There's not much left of this lime kiln which is situated only a few metres away from the road and which I have passed many times over the years without ever spotting it. Found, thanks to looking at Victorian 6" maps. Like several others in the vicinity, it is well away from supplies of limestone, which would have to be transported here either by cart or in panniers from the limestone uplands across the other side of the valley where there were quarries either side of the Hambleton Drove Road. Local fuel could be coal, peat or wood.
