A bank of four limekilns set into the riverbank below the canal level so they could be charged with coal and limestone from it, the kiln manager probably lived in Ty-craig The limekilns set below the towing-path in order to supply lime for fertiliser to farms further west, indicating the development of trade on the west feeder length. The fairly complete masonry remains of these kilns which discharge near river level were visited on 15.06.2007.
