Greenside lime kiln is a masonry lime kiln situated approximately 480 metres west of Castle Howe in Westmorland. The kiln dates from the post-medieval period and represents the industrial exploitation of local limestone resources for agricultural and building purposes. Constructed from stone, the kiln survives as a substantial structural monument indicative of the lime-burning industries that characterised the Lake District and northern English landscapes from the seventeenth century onwards. The site demonstrates the historical importance of lime production to the regional economy, serving both the improvement of agricultural land and the supply of material for mortar and plaster in construction.
