Place & story
Built into rising ground
The National Monuments Service records a circular lime kiln in this inland Mullaghmore, about fifteen metres south of the Douglas River. Built into rising ground, the stone structure measures about 3.6 metres across and 2.3 metres high. Its recessed opening faces north towards the river. The record suggests a date after 1700, while noting that the kiln does not appear on the historic six-inch Ordnance Survey maps. [2]
