Cincoed Limestone Quarries and Kilns is a Post-Medieval and Modern industrial site located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, comprising limestone extraction workings and associated lime kilns. The quarrying and lime-burning operations at Cincoed represent the commercial exploitation of local limestone resources, which became increasingly significant during the Post-Medieval period as demand for lime grew for agricultural, building, and industrial purposes. The site's physical remains include quarry faces and kiln structures that are characteristic of small-scale to medium-scale lime production typical of South Wales during this period. The site is protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the Cadw designation SAM CM276, reflecting its importance to the archaeological and industrial heritage record of Carmarthenshire.
