Overview

History & significance

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.
