Minera Hoffman Limekiln is a post-medieval industrial limekiln located in Denbighshire, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference SAM DE235. The kiln represents the Hoffman design, a continuous-process limekiln technology developed in the nineteenth century that enabled more efficient and economical lime production than traditional intermittent kilns. The structure reflects the industrial expansion of the Minera area, which became a significant centre of lime and lead production during the Victorian period. The kiln's preservation demonstrates the material legacy of Wales's industrial heritage and the technological innovations that characterised nineteenth-century extractive industries.
