It's a "single pot lime kiln", adjacent to the beach, at Wallog.

Coal and limestone would have been landed on the beach from small sailing vessels. The burnt lime would then be used to improve the local acidic soils.

There are a number of these kilns in Ceredigion. This particular kiln dates to the early nineteenth century, and is described by Cadw as "a particularly fine example".

More details, including links to further archive items relating to Wallog Lime Kiln, are available in the online database for the National Monuments Record of Wales, Coflein. (Thanks to Nathan Cooper for the link in the comments below).
