Remains of lime-kiln
Remains of lime-kiln
The meagre remains of what would have been a circular structure of dry-stone construction. See Link (at Canmore) for details. Already long derelict by the time of the first-edition OS map (c.1860), the kiln probably dates from the eighteenth century.
Network of old limestone industry tracks :: NS4379
A very extensive network of ancient tracks on the moors in West Dunbartonshire links old quarries, ruined lime-kilns, and other sites connected with the local limestone-burning industry, which flourished in the 18th century. See Link for a Geograph article about the network, and Link for an annotated satellite view of it.
