Hareshaw Ironworks is a scheduled ancient monument located in Northumberland that represents the region's industrial heritage from the eighteenth century. The site comprises the remains of an ironworking establishment that exploited local iron ore and water power to produce iron goods during the period of expanding industrial manufacture in northern England. The physical remains include evidence of furnaces, associated structures, and water management features typical of early modern iron production sites. The works exemplify the development of heavy industry in Northumberland during the Georgian period and contribute to understanding the archaeological landscape of early industrialisation in the region.
