1870. Substantial former lime kiln of square plan with battered sides, set into steeply sloping bank. Random granite rubble walls with stugged sandstone ashlar dressings. Rubble voussoirs to segmental-arched opening centred at foot of E elevation accessing brick-vaulted entrance tunnel/draw-arch, with furnace opening and draw-hole/eye to rear. Roughly semicircular brick-lined charging-hole/furnace pot at centre, rising to splayed mouth at kiln-head.
The lime kiln at Girlsta was built by Hay & Co due to demand for building lime during the construction of the 'new town' in Lerwick.
