The Kilns are rather egg-shaped, 36 feet deep, 13 and a half feet diameter at top, and 14 and a half feet in the belly or widest place at nine feet down; diminishing thence, to 3 and a half feet diameter at bottom. Iron shovels are used to draw the Lime at 20 inches above the floors on which the (Kiln) Rail-ways are laid.
From a description of the Lime Kilns in 1813.
