Monument record MDO215 - Lime kiln at Mapperton Farm, Beaminster

A lime kiln recorded as ‘old limekiln’ on the second edition (1900-2) Ordnance Survey map. The date of this kiln is not known but it is most likely to be late nineteenth century. The site was visited in 1992-93 by Peter Stanier, who could find no trace of the kiln structure. Earthworks associated with the site of the kiln are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947.
