Place & story

Furnace and loading chute

The architectural inventory records a triple limekiln at Blarney House, built from rubble stone about 1860. Its western furnace opening has a limestone lintel, with a loading chute behind the front wall. The survey recorded it as disused and grouped it with the demesne’s gate lodges, farmyard and icehouse.
