Winlaton Mill ironworks is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the remains of an iron forge and associated structures located south-east of Winlaton Mill village in County Durham. The works were established in the late seventeenth century as part of the industrial development of the Derwent valley, with the site representing an important early example of iron production in the north-east of England. The surviving structures include masonry foundations and earthworks that illustrate the layout of the forge complex, which would have processed iron from local and imported sources. The monument reflects the transition from small-scale craft production to larger-scale industrial ironworking during the early modern period.
