Llanfawr limekiln

A day out looking at industrial sites on Anglesey included this fine little limekiln in the Community of Llangristiolus, south of Llangefni. It is an early example which probably dates from the late 18th/early 19th century. and has two draw holes facing sw and ne to be used according to the wind conditions. There are some remains of a covered lime yard at the other side of the kiln. There are several kilns surviving in this area and the concentration is probably due to the proximity of coal supplies from the Berw/Malltraeth coalfield just to the south east.
