Limestone outcrops

The presence of such outcrops will have influenced the choice of location of a nearby lime-kiln: NS4281 : Remains of a lime-kiln.

In the same area, but closer to the location of the kiln, there are NS4281 : Traces of limestone quarrying.

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.
