Lower Wireworks at Tintern is a post-medieval and modern industrial iron forge located in Monmouthshire, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument. The site represents the development of iron working in the Tintern area during the later post-medieval period, when the river valley's water power and local resources sustained metalworking enterprises.
