The kilns here would have been used to burn lime that had been extracted from the quarries a few hundred yards away, and lime brought to Kendal on the canal, around a mile and a half to the East.
The site includes a number of information boards providing information on the operation of the kiln here at Greenside, as well as the Lime burning industry in the town in general, as well as seats providing panoramic views out across the rooftops of Kendal.
