Wycoller kiln

Intermittent earthen limekiln remains below Copy House at Wycoller. Limestone would have been collected from the nearby river or washed out of the boulder clay in the nearby hills by 'hushing' - releasing stored water from ponds and watercourses made above the valley slopes. There is no native limestone nearby but the clay can contain as much as 25% limestone brought by glacial ice from Craven district of Yorkshire.
