The Northern part of Rimington lead mines is an ancient monument in Yorkshire comprising evidence of medieval mineral extraction and associated agricultural landscape features. The site includes remains of lead mining activity dating to the medieval period, integrated within an open field system characteristic of medieval rural settlement and land management. Three limestone clamp kilns, located approximately 120 metres south-east of Hollins, represent later industrial activity for processing lime, likely post-dating the primary mining phase. The monument reflects the long-term economic and landscape history of this upland area, where metalworking and agricultural uses coexisted and evolved across successive periods.
