Minera Hoffman Limekiln is a Post-Medieval industrial limekiln located in Denbighshire, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference DE235. The kiln represents the Hoffman type design, a significant development in lime-burning technology that allowed for continuous operation rather than the batch processes employed in earlier kilns. The structure reflects the industrial expansion of Wales during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when lime production served vital roles in agriculture, building construction, and chemical manufacture. As a surviving example of Hoffman kiln technology, it documents the evolution of industrial processes and the mechanisation of traditional lime-burning practices in the Post-Medieval and Modern periods.
