-- This entry seems to based on the secondary sources quoted (Woods, Daily Telegraph), both of which misrepresented the findings in the quoted article and added some errors. The Laskill slag was described as having a composition between bloomery and blast furnace slag^[1], which does not imply a blast furnace. Blast furnaces had been around in England since the 1490's, decades before the dissolution^[2]. After the dissolution of Rievaulx, the existing works were upgraded with the earliest recorded water powered hammer in the area and a blast furnace is mentioned at the Abbey in 1577/78^[3] --Paul The Mole (talk) 16:50, 6 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
