SE0291 : Old lime kiln west of Castle Bolton
taken 3 years ago, near to Castle Bolton, North Yorkshire, England
Old lime kiln west of Castle Bolton
Just below the track that runs westwards from close by the castle car park. I must have walked within 20m of this a dozen times or more and never noticed it. A small kiln with no obvious limestone quarry nearby. One would guess that its main purpose was for the fertilisation of nearby fields. Even pastures based on limestone benefited from 'sweetening'.
