Hollins Mine and Bank Top iron calcining kilns is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of iron ore calcining facilities located in Yorkshire. The kilns date from the industrial period, specifically the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when calcining processes were employed to prepare iron ore for smelting by removing moisture and improving its friability. The site preserves physical evidence of this significant phase of iron production in the region, with the surviving structural remains reflecting the technical infrastructure required for pre-smelting ore treatment. These calcining kilns represent an important archaeological record of industrial development in Yorkshire during the period of expanding iron manufacture.
