Maesdulais Limekilns is a post-medieval and modern industrial limekiln located in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The site represents the lime-burning industry that developed in the region to support agricultural improvement and construction demands from the eighteenth century onwards. The surviving structures reflect the technological practices of lime production during this period, when locally quarried limestone was calcined in kilns to produce quicklime for use as fertiliser and building material. The limekilns form part of the broader industrial heritage of Carmarthenshire, documenting the county's participation in the extractive industries that characterised the Welsh landscape during the post-medieval era.
