Neath Abbey Ironworks Calcining Kilns is an industrial monument comprising the remains of calcining kilns used in iron production at Neath in Glamorgan. Dating from the eighteenth or nineteenth century, these kilns formed part of the extensive ironworks operations that developed in the Neath Valley during the Industrial Revolution. The kilns were employed to heat and process raw materials, particularly calcining ironstone and other ores required for smelting. The surviving structures represent a significant example of the specialist industrial infrastructure that supported Wales's emergence as a major iron-producing region during this transformative period.
