Cobscar Mill ore hearth lead smeltmill, flue and chimney is a seventeenth-century lead smelting installation located in Yorkshire. The monument comprises the structural remains of an ore hearth, associated flue system, and chimney stack, which together represent the physical infrastructure of early modern lead processing. Such installations were central to the regional metalworking economy during the post-medieval period, utilising local ore sources and technology refined over centuries of mining activity. The site's preservation provides archaeological evidence of the methods and scale of lead smelting operations in this period of English industrial development.
