Pippingford furnace and ironworks is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of an iron production complex located near New Lodge Farm in Sussex. The site dates from the early modern period, representing the industrial exploitation of the Wealden iron ore deposits that made Sussex a major centre of iron manufacture from the sixteenth century onwards. The monument preserves evidence of the furnace structure and associated working areas that would have processed locally mined ore into iron for domestic and military use. The remains survive as earthworks and structural fragments that contribute to our understanding of Wealden iron industry technology and organisation during this period of significant English industrial development.
