    In this furnace, the iron ore that was mined in the surrounding tunnels was extracted from the rock. There was usually also a charcoal kiln nearby.

    Both were usually located a little way away from settlements because the burning of wood and coal caused considerable air pollution. The sought-after material had been mined in this area since the early Iron Age.
