Partially derelict remains of a blast furnace which was in operation from the mid 18th century to 1855. (Umpleby 2000, 115). The tail race is partially revealed after excavation and the building survives quite well. The furnace was converted to the use of coke rather than charcoal at an unknown date (Crossley 1990, 116). The forge was built on fields which would have been assarted out of the commons in the early medieval period possibly between the 12th and 14th century (Sykes 1993, 240-1). There is no legibility of the former enclosures.
