Hallsannery limekiln is a scheduled ancient monument located in Devon, England, representing industrial heritage from the post-medieval period. The kiln survives as a substantial stone structure, characteristic of the lime-burning installations that served the local agricultural and building trades across southwest England. Such kilns were essential to rural economies, processing locally quarried limestone into quicklime for use as agricultural fertiliser and mortar in construction. The Hallsannery example stands as evidence of the widespread lime-working industries that sustained Devon's communities from the medieval period onwards, with intensive activity particularly during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
