Nucleated coal mine and coke oven on Fountains Fell is a scheduled monument comprising industrial coal extraction and processing infrastructure located on the moorland of Fountains Fell in Yorkshire. The site dates to the nineteenth century and represents the expansion of coal mining activity into upland areas during the period of intensive industrial development. The monument includes both the coal mine workings and an associated coke oven, which would have been used to convert raw coal into coke for use in iron smelting and other industrial processes. This archaeological survival illustrates the landscape-scale impact of the Industrial Revolution on the Yorkshire moorlands and the integration of mining and processing activities at a single location.
