Old Furnace Blast Furnace is a post-medieval industrial structure located in Wales and designated as a scheduled ancient monument (SAM MM197) by Cadw. The furnace represents the iron-smelting technology employed during the early modern period of Welsh industrial development, when blast furnaces became central to the expansion of iron production in the region. The surviving remains demonstrate the physical scale and engineering of these installations, which relied on water power and locally sourced charcoal or coke to achieve the high temperatures necessary for iron smelting. The site stands as evidence of Wales's role in Britain's industrial transformation during this period of technological and economic change.
