Blackcliff Wood Limekiln is a Post-Medieval to Modern industrial limekiln located in Wales and recorded under Cadw's Scheduled Ancient Monument designation MM291. The structure represents the lime-burning industry that developed during the Post-Medieval period and continued into the Modern era, reflecting the region's exploitation of local limestone resources for agricultural and construction purposes. As a limekiln, it would have functioned to calcify limestone through controlled burning, producing quicklime for use as fertiliser and building material. The monument survives as physical evidence of Wales's industrial heritage and the economic practices associated with rural lime production.
