The Bellmanpark Limeworks is long abandoned at the end of the former tramroad that brought the stone down from the quarry. The kilns were hidden away amongst the trees could take some finding, but have now been cleared by a local group keen to see them conserved. There are four kilns that were, unusually, served on two sides by railway sidings that ran into the kiln bank on both sides so that each kiln could be drawn into two trucks simultaneously.

Inside the draw tunnels there is this vaulting at the base of each kiln and here can be seen the draw hole with firebrick above and the railway siding running into the arches left and right.
