History: The lime-kilns form part of a larger group with the adjacent southern kiln bank, built in phases from the late C18 to the mid C19. The earliest kilns (Nos 5 and 6) were probably built when the canal was opened in 1797: nos 7 and 8 were added shortly afterwards, c1800.
Description: The rubble retaining wall curves round to either side of kilns 5 and 6 to enclose a cart loading area, and is stepped back from a thickened base. The steep arches have rough stone voussoir heads, and the tunnels are entirely stone lined, and connected by a cross-passage in front of the drawing holes. These are visible in No 6, but obscured in No 5: the cones are not visible in either kiln, and have probably collapsed.
Kilns 7 and 8 are set forward of the earlier pair, in a rubble raked-back retaining wall, and have voussoir heads to segmental arches. Brick-lined tunnels lead back to the drawing holes, but these are obscured by the charge from the collapsed cones.
Listed as part of an important complex of lime-kilns - the largest single group of kilns on the Montgomeryshire Canal - which together illustrate the typological development of the lime-kiln from the late C18 to the mid C19.
