| Description | Massively constructed lime kiln, built into south facing slope close to the peak of Koronia. An access road leads past the top of the kilns and, if contemporary with the kilns, may have been used to transport the quicklime. There is no sign of a firing hole at the base of this kiln. Walls are constructed in concentric skins of limestone chunks. Thickness of wall 1.5m at top, then 2.2m from the interior face of the kiln to the first exterior face. The structure is weathered and degraded at the top but in good condition towards the base. There is an apparent point of access to the pot at the top close to the mountainside. This opening is 1.2m wide at the pot.Interior depth of pot is 3.8m. A deposit of rubbish inside the pot made it impossible to check the contents or condition of the bottom of the pot. |
