Site of Ravensworth coalmill is a post-medieval industrial site located north-east of Ravensworth Castle in County Durham. The coalmill represents evidence of coal extraction and processing activity in the region during the early modern period, reflecting the growing exploitation of Durham's mineral resources. The site is situated within the landscape of the Ravensworth estate, an area with longstanding connections to coal working and industrial development. As an archaeological site rather than an upstanding structure, its designation recognises the importance of subsurface remains in understanding the evolution of coal mining practices and the economic history of south-west Durham.
