Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Remains of lime-kiln. This is the eighth of ten former lime-kiln sites that are located along a short section of the Murroch Burn. For an index to pictures of all ten sites, see 1622071

Unlike the first seven sites, which are in fairly dense woodland, the three sites furthest upstream (sites seven to nine) are more exposed, and are set at the foot of long, fairly narrow ridges that slope steeply down towards the Murroch Burn, as described at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1623207

The pit is, internally, about 3 metres across, and grass-covered, so that none of the original stone wall is visible, but there are a few scattered stones within the pit. Of the ten sites, the one shown here had one of the deepest pits.

Visible in the background are the dark-grey slopes of the far side of the valley of the Murroch Burn; in many places, this valley is deep and steep-sided, making it hard for vegetation to become established.
