Allerston lime kilns are a group of stone structures located in North Yorkshire that date from the post-medieval period. The kilns represent the industrial heritage of lime production in the region, a process essential for agricultural improvement and building construction from the seventeenth century onwards. The surviving remains consist of stone-built kiln structures characteristic of traditional lime-burning technology, where limestone was heated to produce quicklime for use as fertiliser and mortar. These monuments reflect the economic significance of lime production to rural and urban development in Yorkshire during the early modern period.
