Crindledykes Limekiln NY7867 : Crindledykes lime kiln stands beside a minor road running from the Military Road, west of Housesteads Roman Fort, to Bardon Mill. It is one of several limekilns built in this area in the C19th to turn locally quarried limestone into quicklime. Coal was brought from the nearby Barcombe Coal Mine via a waggonway. It is the only kiln in Northumberland which had four draw arches supplied from a single upper pot, although two were later blocked up to reduce production in the early 1900s.
