Two bloomeries is an ancient monument comprising two iron-smelting sites located on the eastern shore of Coniston Water in Lancashire, positioned approximately 340 metres and 570 metres north-north-east of Hoathwaite Landing. These bloomeries represent evidence of medieval and post-medieval iron production in the Lake District, a region with substantial iron-working activity during these periods. The sites consist of the physical remains of bloomery furnaces, which were primitive shaft furnaces used for smelting iron ore into workable metal. Such monuments are significant for understanding the development of metal-working industries and local economic activity in the upland regions of northern England.
