Full Description

NH 9355 1935

A limekiln in rather poor repair is located here. The limekiln is marked but not titled on the earlier OS maps. A gully runs from the kiln but is more probably connected with a drainage channel
from the lochan to the West rather than being an integral part of the kiln.
It is not clear to what farm this kiln belonged. It was probably built in the late 18th/early 19th century when the Grant estates were actively encouraging their tenants to lime their fields. The
neighbouring structures at sites 5 & 7 are thought to be much later in date than this feature.
