Historical Information

A lime kiln is cited at this location on the 1834 OS 6” map (but not on the 1901 edition). It could be of early 19th century date (or earlier), but the possibility of a later rebuild cannot be dismissed. Primary sources: 1. PRONI – OS 6/3/52/1(1834 OS 6'' map) (Down sheet 52). 2. PRONI - OS 6/3/52/3 (1901 OS 6'' map) (Down sheet 52).
