The lime kiln and associated lime shed located 680 metres south-east of Scales Green Farm is an industrial monument dating to the post-medieval period. The structure represents the infrastructure of lime production, a significant agricultural and building industry in Lancashire, with the kiln serving to calcinate limestone into quicklime for use as a soil amendment and in construction mortar. The survival of both the kiln structure and its associated shed provides evidence of the methods and scale of lime manufacture in the region during its period of operation. Such installations were characteristic features of the rural industrial landscape in northern England during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
