There are several adjoining lime kilns in New Castle County listed and
described on the Delaware Historic Preservation Office files.  You have
to jump through some hoops to get the information.

Hi Megan,
You might want to check with the Arizona Historical Society and/or Az.  
St. Museum in Tucson. A line of lime kilns was worked along Silverbell  
Road in the 1880s northwest of Tucson. At least two are still  
accessible off the side of the road. The most famous Silverbell lime  
kiln (destroyed during the 1950s) was related to the still unresolved  
mystery of the "Roman-Jew" Relics --aka The Tucson Artifacts -- made  
out of lead and dug out during the 1920s by Drs Cummingd, Douglas,  
Haury and other personnel from ASM/UA.
