Riverhall blast furnace is a scheduled ancient monument located in Sussex, England, representing the iron-working industries of the Weald during the early modern period. The furnace dates to the sixteenth century and forms part of the extensive archaeological and industrial heritage associated with Wealden iron production, when the region was a centre of significant iron smelting activity. The monument survives as a substantial earthwork and structural remains which preserve evidence of the technological processes and landscape modifications undertaken during this period of intensive metalworking. The site contributes to understanding the development of blast furnace technology and the economic importance of iron production in southern England during the Tudor and early Stuart periods.
