Site of Charcoal Shed

Caption: Site of Charcoal Shed
Additional Description: Stone walls and a rectangular cut in the hillside far above this point are all that remain to mark the location of a charcoal storage shed. The building appears on maps from the 1860's and was likely enlarged in the 1870's. It once held the fuel vital for the iron-making process, but was situated far enough away from the blast furnace to protect it from accidental sparks or flames.
