Limeworks at The Novers is a post-medieval industrial monument located in Shropshire. The site represents evidence of lime production, an activity that became increasingly significant during the post-medieval period as lime was essential for mortar, agricultural use, and other construction purposes. The physical remains reflect the infrastructure associated with small-scale lime manufacture that characterised rural industrial activity in this region. Such limeworks are relatively common archaeological features across Shropshire, where local geology provided suitable limestone deposits for exploitation.
