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 quarrying features that supplied raw material for its operation, dating to the early modern period when lime production became increasingly important for agricultural improvement and building works. Lime kilns of this type were essential to rural economies, providing quicklime for spreading on fields to improve soil quality and for use in mortar and plaster in construction. The survival of both the kiln structure and adjacent quarry workings provides evidence of the landscape organisation and resource exploitation practices characteristic of early modern rural industry.
