The lime kiln and associated lime shed located 680 metres south east of Scales Green Farm is a post-medieval industrial monument situated in Lancashire. The kiln represents the lime-burning industry which developed significantly across northern England from the seventeenth century onwards, serving local agricultural and building needs by producing quicklime from limestone. The structure comprises the kiln itself, a characteristic industrial feature of rural Lancashire, together with an associated shed for storage and processing of materials. This monument preserves evidence of small-scale rural industrial activity and the exploitation of local geological resources that characterised the post-medieval economy of the region.
