Abstract:		 A survey to record and asses the remains associated with the Thornton Wood Limeworks (also known as Gaskie Hill Quarries). A series of trial pits, surface quarries and major linear quarry workings were identified together with associated spoil mounds, two tramways and five clamp kilns. A row of workers' housing known as Kiln Houses was also recorded. Field evidence and historic mapping suggest that there were two major phases of industrial activity. The first phase dates from around 1830-40 and was confined to small scale quarrying and lime burning in the southern section of the site. The second phase, which began around 1850 and finished before the 1890s, saw the development of two substantial limestone quarries on the hillside above Kiln Houses. The comparatively small scale nature of quarrying and lime burning suggests that Thornton Wood Limeworks served a local agricultural market, possibly the farms on the Lassodie Estate.
