Blast Furnace at Maesteg Sports Centre

Built of rubble stone and faced with Pennant Sandstone ashlar work. Square in plan, enclosing a circular furnace, having three blowing arches to the rear and sides and a casting arch to the front. The stack originally rose as a tapered square cone approximately 14m (46ft) high to the charging ramp which was accessed from the higher land to the S. Each of the arches is of ashlar, and tapers inwards. The casting arch retains the tap hole and and has the cinder notch for slag to one side. The throat was blocked during consolidation in 1995. The upper section of the stack has been destroyed.
