Lime kilns is a scheduled ancient monument located in Northumberland, England. The site comprises the remains of lime-burning kilns, industrial structures that were essential to local building and agricultural practices from the medieval period through the early modern and later periods. Lime kilns of this type were used to calcinate limestone, producing quicklime for use in mortar, plaster, and as a soil amendment. The survival of such structures provides evidence of industrial activity and the development of building technologies across several centuries of Northumbrian history.
