Monument record MDO7612 - Lime kiln at Black Hills, Corfe Castle
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A lime kiln identified by Peter Stanier who suggests that maps in the Dorset History Centre (DRO.D/RWR/E16/5, dated around 1772, and DRO.D/RWR/P3, dated 1805) almost certainly show a lime kiln. The kiln is not shown on the second edition (1900-2) Ordnance Survey map. The date of this kiln is not known, but it is clearly at least very early nineteenth century in date. Dr Stanier visited the site in 1992-3, but could find no trace of the kiln structure.
