The work involved clearing vegetation from on the kilns, installing scaffolding, removing and rebuilding the uppermost four-feet of red sandstone block around the top of each kiln, re-pointing and replacing loose stone in the walls, infilling large thermal/settlement cracks on the sides, and repairing the chamber ceilings and covers.
