Hollins Mine and Bank Top iron calcining kilns are a scheduled ancient monument located in Yorkshire, comprising the remains of industrial calcining infrastructure associated with ironstone processing. The kilns date from the nineteenth century and represent the technological development of iron ore preparation methods during the Industrial Revolution. The site preserves evidence of calcination processes whereby ironstone was heated to improve its suitability for smelting, reflecting the integration of mining and primary metal processing at a single location. These remains contribute to the archaeological and industrial heritage record of Yorkshire's iron industry during this period.
