The Remains of Iron Furnace at Cwmaman is a blast furnace structure located in the Amman Valley in Carmarthenshire, Wales, dating to the post-medieval and modern industrial period. The furnace represents the expansion of iron production in South Wales during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when ironworks proliferated across the region to exploit local coal and ironstone deposits. The surviving remains consist of substantial masonry elements characteristic of period blast furnace construction, preserving evidence of the technological and industrial infrastructure that underpinned Wales's role in the British iron industry. The site is recorded as a scheduled monument under Cadw's protection, reflecting its significance for understanding post-medieval industrial heritage in Wales.
