Megan.  Sagebrush did a detailed recording of a shaft lime kiln in  
northern Utah, near Mantua and the documentation and photographs can  be found in 
the HABS/HAER collection at the Library of Congress  online.  The URL for the 
Mantua Kiln is: _http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/hh/item/UT0321/_

The URL for the 37 lime kilns posted in the collection  ONLINE is:

We also recently recorded a double lime kiln along the Transcontinental  
Railroad in Morgan, Utah, about 20 miles from Ogden.  I can send you  the 
report if you are interested.  It was built prior to construction of  the 
railroad, but likely continued operation, and was, perhaps, even enhanced by  
development that occurred in the area after the railroad was built.

Hello,

I worked on an excavation in Maryland that revealed  what looks like a lime 
kiln, which is believed to be associated with an  18th/19th c. plantation. 
While I've found some historical and technical  information on lime kilns, I 
haven't found many archaeological reports that  address this type of 
structure. I know that a similar question was asked on  this listserv about a 
decade ago, and some of the responses have been useful,  but if anyone has more 
recent info, that would be much appreciated. 
Thanks  in advance - 

Megan
