This kiln is marked on the Tithe Map of 1840, on Cosheston Hall estate. The kiln was sited to take limestone and coal landed from the estuary. Above it is a level area with access ramps and some terracing of the land, where stone and fuel were evidently stored. The site was called Limekiln Green and occupied by George Bowling; later occupiers were named Phillips. It was disused by the end of the century.
The limekiln is semi-circular, about 6.5 m in diameter, and about 3.5 m in height. It is built of rubble local stone with neatly formed corbelled openings at the N and S sides. There are retaining walls extending from the kiln in wing form along the bank face. There are marks of a former shed over the S working hole and there was probably a shed over the N hole also, where there is presently a modern shed.
The interior of the kiln is about 2.8 m diameter and there are traces of a fireclay lining.
Listed as a well preserved early C19 estate limekiln.
