Lime kilns at Betchworth Quarry is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of industrial lime-burning structures associated with the exploitation of chalk deposits in the Betchworth area of Surrey. The kilns date from the post-medieval period and represent the continuation of lime production that became particularly significant during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as demand for lime increased for agricultural use, building mortar, and other industrial applications. The physical remains consist of kiln structures cut into or constructed within the quarry landscape, where chalk was extracted and burned to produce quicklime. The site evidences the long history of quarrying and processing at Betchworth, which remains one of Surrey's most significant chalk working areas.
