Limestone Quarry and Kiln at Oxwich is a post-medieval and modern industrial site in Swansea, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM GM542). The site comprises a limestone quarry worked in association with a limekiln, reflecting the small-scale lime production that served local agricultural and building needs across the Gower Peninsula. The quarry and kiln represent the practical exploitation of local geological resources during the post-medieval period and continuing into the modern era, when lime production remained economically important for soil improvement and construction mortar. The physical remains preserve evidence of quarrying techniques and kiln construction typical of Welsh rural industrial activity.
