Dunstan Square lime kiln (Craster)
Collapsed lime kiln, one arch still intact. Arch measures 8ft high by 8ft deep. Originally four brick draw arches, round-headed, with one eye per arch. Two pots, full. (1)
Rectilinear structure of uncoursed sandstone rubble set into a purpose built bank to the east with a wing wall extending to the north and three visible access arches along the west frontage wall. The arch to the north is complete with a segmental-headed arch formed of two rows of red bricks - diminishes internally with brick vault and stone corbelled rear. The northern most arch to the west has been blocked with masonry along the line of the frontage wall and the arch to the south is badly tumbled. A long loading ramp extends from the south side of the platform. Quarry eathworks lie to the north, south and east of the kiln. (2)
A post medieval lime kiln is visible as a structure on air photographs, centred at NU 2475 2129. This feature is within the perimeter of a quarry with which it appears to be associated (UID 1470858). The present condition of the feature is uncertain as the area is obscured by tree coverage on the latest 1999 Ordnance Survey vertical photography. (3a)
