Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Remains of lime-kiln. This is the last 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

This is the furthest upstream of the ten sites, and, like sites 8 and 9, it lies at the foot of a long, narrow, rather steep ridge that is enclosed within a sharp bend of the Murroch Burn, as described at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1623207

Photographically, this is also the least evident of the sites, but there is indeed a circular pit here, although it is completely overgrown with bracken. The pit has an internal diameter of three metres. While sites 8 and 9 are densely covered with grass, the bracken covering of site 10 does at least mean that more of the underlying earth is visible inside the pit, making it possible to see some of the stones that made up the wall of the kiln.

The background shows the steep slopes on the other side of the Murroch Burn; compare the comments at the end of 1622226.
