Crindledykes Limekiln

Description
"Crindledykes Limekiln [[1423875]] stands beside a minor road running from the Military Road, west of Housesteads Roman Fort, to Bardon Mill. It is one of several limekilns built in this area in the C19th to turn locally quarried limestone into quicklime. Coal was brought from the nearby Barcombe Coal Mine via a waggonway. It is the only kiln in Northumberland which had four draw arches supplied from a single upper pot, although two were later blocked up to reduce production in the early 1900s. On the left is Bradley Hall where King Edward I stayed in 1306 [[1433408]]. Bradley Farm, above the Military Road, can be seen behind [[163604]]. Grandy's Knowe, which has the remains of a former medieval bastle is on the right [[1433411]]. http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/hadrianswall/uploads/haltwhistlewalk17.pdf The hill in the distance is above Hotbank Crags and is the line of Hadrian's Wall between Hotbank and Housesteads."
