This small Limekiln (?) forge is on a county road called Stanhope. I talked to a local and he said it was there when his great grand father was around 1799 (?)
I found it one winter day while out Benchmark hunting!
Looked on said website but, no information is on it about this mini forge but local said it's in local history books!
Anyone know anything about it please contact me so we can get it main stream noticed!
It's about 10 feet tall,10 feet wide, and in the side of the north bank.
