Yewdale lime kiln is a limestone kiln located approximately 380 metres south-west of Low Yewdale in Lancashire. The structure dates from the post-medieval period and represents the industrial exploitation of local limestone resources for the production of lime, which was essential for agricultural improvement, construction mortar, and other contemporary uses. The kiln's physical form and construction techniques are consistent with lime-burning installations common to upland regions of northern England during this era. As a scheduled ancient monument, it preserves evidence of the small-scale industrial practices that characterised rural Lancashire's economic landscape in the centuries following the medieval period.
