A double pot kiln, front facade with two draw arches survived to a maximum height of 5m. The kiln had collapsed into the chambers but enough survived to allow an almost complete survey, undertaken by RCAHMS. The site is now destroyed by the M74 construction. The kilns were part of a complex of lime quarries and the vestiges of two other kilns can be seen; they should be unaffected by the road works. The kiln is marked on the OS map.
T Ward 1990.
