The lime kiln and associated quarry located 75 metres south of High Scarth Barn is a scheduled ancient monument situated in Yorkshire. The site comprises a kiln structure and quarried area, typical of the industrial landscape that developed across northern England from the medieval period onwards, though such installations were particularly prevalent during the post-medieval era. Lime kilns of this type were essential to local economies, providing quicklime for agricultural improvement, building mortar, and other practical applications. The survival of both the kiln structure and its working quarry provides archaeological evidence of small-scale industrial activity and land management practices in the Yorkshire uplands.
