Peat Processing Works, Fenn's Moss is a Post Medieval and Modern industrial site located in Flintshire, Wales, reflecting the commercial exploitation of peatland resources during the industrial period. The works comprised structures and infrastructure associated with the extraction and processing of peat, which was extracted from the extensive moss to supply fuel and other material demands of the surrounding industrial region. The site represents an important phase in the economic use of Flintshire's natural resources and demonstrates the industrial activities that characterised the landscape during the later Post Medieval and Modern periods. The remains visible today provide evidence of the technological and organisational methods employed in peat extraction and processing during this era.
