  Description

  In pasture, on the W-facing slope of a hillock near the E bank of the Caragh River. The remains of this iron-working site consist of the ruins of a 17th-century blast furnace. The furnace is a square structure (7.2m N-S; 7m E-W) built into the slope. Part of a random rubble wall (T 1.5m; H c. 5m) stands at W while the N and E walls are in ruins. At S the remains of a casting arch is indicated by a splayed opening (Wth 4.4m; L 2m; H 2m) with traces of voussoirs at its W side. Vitrified stones, slag, a block (1.25m x 0.15m x 0.15m) of cast-iron and a U-shaped piece of cast iron lie on the ground nearby to the S. Traces of a ramp, which provided access to the top of the furnace, are visible on the higher ground to the E. Ruins of miners' houses lie c. 50m to the S. The Blackstones Iron Works was in operation for over eighty years between c. 1670 and 1754 (McCracken 1971, 166).
