Description
The remains of lead smelting flues are located approximately 20 metres north-east of The Smelt House, which is also known as Lower House. These flues date from the late 19th century and are constructed from roughly coursed limestone rubble with red brick dressings. There are substantial remains of round-headed brick flues and a retaining wall. Several of the flues are open, and one at the front is tunnelled back for a considerable distance below ground. The site is surrounded by well-preserved earthworks, including a rectangular-shaped pond to the north-east, all of which are associated with the former lead smelting complex. The Smelt House itself is not included in this listing.
