Description

Large lime kiln constructed from brick and red sandstone, rendered in places. The southern side, on the coast edge, has collapsed due to erosion and cracks were observed on other external elevations of the structure. Internal access prohibited. Brick vaulted ceilings were visible. Roof of limekiln ruinous. No gun emplacements were visible. ShoreUPDATE 11/12/2015: This site was laser scanned and recorded by SCAPE in 2010. See record 12132 for possible site of gun emplacement. The front half (North) of the structure appears largely unchanged from that recorded in 2010. It was not possible to access the seaward side of the monument due to the high tide. There is, however, evidence of erosion of masonry on the SW seaward side when photographs from 2010 and 2015 are compared. Site visit June 2018 As described, site remains very vulnerable to erosion and structure continues to deteriorate

Re-visit at low tide to check condition of the seaward side of the structure. It is 5 years since the last laser scan. It would be interesting to do the scanning again andquantify what has changed. Reassign priority 2 on basis of site has been comprehensively recorded, but erosion is a continuing, urgent issue. Very regular monitoring required and periodic resurvey.
