- There is a lime kiln on my Uncle's farm. It was used for burning lime. It was round & a hole in the front of it for the lime to come out. It is able to hold fifty barrels of lime. When a kiln of lime is going to be burned first stones are broken & plucky turf is put in the bottom of the kiln. Then stones are put in & then turf until it is filled. Then it is set on fire. It used to be two days burning.
