Lime kiln and associated quarries 330m west of Toft Gate Farm is a post-medieval industrial monument located in Yorkshire. The site comprises a lime kiln together with quarries from which limestone was extracted to supply the kiln's operations, dating to the post-medieval period. Lime kilns of this type were essential to local agriculture and construction, producing quicklime for agricultural improvement and mortar production. The survival of both the kiln structure and its associated extraction sites provides evidence of small-scale industrial activity characteristic of rural Yorkshire during this period.
