Old Furnace Blast Furnace is a post-medieval and modern industrial monument located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference MM197 by Cadw. The structure represents the iron-smelting industry that developed in Wales during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a period of significant industrial expansion. As a blast furnace, it would have been integral to ore reduction and pig iron production, technologies that were fundamental to Wales's role in the broader Industrial Revolution. The surviving physical remains provide evidence of the engineering practices and industrial infrastructure characteristic of early modern Welsh metallurgical production.
