Geocache Description:


 
 
 

Provavelmente construído nos alvores do século XVIII, este forno encontra-se hoje em propriedade dos herdeiros de Joel Rodrigues Tomás.
Forno intermitente ou descontínuo que servia para cozer a cal em fornadas alternadas a combustível de chama comprida - mato. A cal depois de cozida era retirada do forno e armazenada em casa anexa, finalmente distribuída aos consumidores locais que a utilizavam na construção civil.
O forno de forma circular, compõe-se de um forte maciço de alvenaria exterior enterrado, com um espaço anelar entre este e o forno propriamente dito construído com tijolo refratário.
