| Description
Probably early 19th century. Increasingly rare survival of large, imposing, rectangular-plan disused single pot limekiln in prominent position on open ground to W of East Lomond Hill and to E of Falkland. Typical in plan and size of many limekilns of this date, built into raised ground to allow vehicular access for ease of loading limestone from above, and with arched openings at exposed faces. Snecked, roughly squared and coursed rubble. Segmentally-headed, voussoired draw arches, through passage to rear, battered angle | ||
