Geocache Description:

This is the new version of GCM633 which I've retired due to changes in the area.

In 1890 a lime kiln was built at the Forks of the credit. It lasted only 3 years before it was determined that it couldn’t compete with bricks now being made in many parts of southern Ontario – some brick kiln ruins which you’ve probably stumbled across if you’ve been caching for any length of time. The remains of the Carrol and Vick brick kiln are still there despite being abandoned over 100 years ago. I always thought the construction of the foundation rather crude when compared to other masonry of the same period in the area. Come to think of it, its crude even when compared with 13th century castles of Europe I’ve been to!

The Bruce Trail Society has put in a side trail that will take you directly to the site.

You can access the trail from the end of Caledon Mountain Road or Chisolm Rd, which may be a challenge to find on a map.
