A group of four 'draw kilns' is depicted on the south-east side of Dell Point on a map of 1759. The map shows the estate of Thomas Wood, the landowner and entrepreneur who developed Beadnell's quarrying, lime-burning and other industries in the 18th century (Northumberland HER, PRN N24080). Site is now formed by a stone-built structure eroding out of the cliff face, thought to represent the remains of one of the limekilns.
