The Northern part of Rimington lead mines is a scheduled ancient monument in Yorkshire comprising evidence of medieval and post-medieval mineral extraction. The site incorporates relict features of a medieval open field system alongside three limestone clamp kilns positioned approximately 120 metres south-east of Hollins, demonstrating the integration of agricultural and industrial land use in this upland landscape. The lead mining activity represents the exploitation of mineral resources that characterised the Pennine region from the medieval period onwards, whilst the limestone kilns indicate later phases of quarrying and processing. Together these monuments illustrate the layered industrial and agricultural history of Rimington over several centuries.
