The site of the iron works at Ebernoe (SU 977278) was located, in common with many other such works, at the point where a valley narrowed, enabling the construction of a bay, or dam, by which a pond could be impounded. The original stream seems to have followed a course on the south side of the valley, where the remains of a natural ghyll can still be seen. The southern valley sides are steep in comparison with those on the north side, and it is for this reason that access to the site would have been more likely on the north side. A deeply worn track is still in evidence, and following a route, at a gradient manageable by wagons, up past the site of a former cottage. Known as Furnace Croft, the building, which is shown on a 1764 map of the manor of Ebernoe, survived until the 1920s.
