Bersham Ironworks is a post-medieval industrial site located in Denbighshire, Wales, which represents an important phase in the development of iron production in North Wales during the eighteenth century. The works were established in the 1770s and became notable for their adoption of coke-smelting technology, contributing significantly to the region's industrial expansion during the Industrial Revolution. The surviving physical remains include blast furnace structures and associated industrial buildings that reflect the scale and methods of eighteenth-century iron production. The site's archaeological importance lies in its demonstration of technological innovation in Welsh metallurgical industries and its role in the broader transformation of the Welsh economy during the post-medieval period.
