Introduction
Historic building recording was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology for CgMs Consulting on behalf of Persimmon Homes plc, at Plymstock Lime Kiln, Pomphlett, Plymouth, Devon. An English Heritage Level 3 record was carried out on the building prior to its demolition.
The earliest OS mapping indicates the building was in existence by 1894 and labelled "old lime kiln", by 1907. Observations made during the site visit indicated that the building had been built in an old hillslope quarry, and the remains of access tracks and probable working areas were evident. The exterior showed signs of major rebuild or repair. It was in largely complete condition, but was beginning to be dilapidated.
