The kilns were used to roast ironstone at Hollins Mine. In Rosedale in 1853 magnetite ore, a high grade iron ore, was discovered just north east of Hollins Farm. Hollins was the first of a number of mines to be established around Rosedale and was worked intensively from 1859 by the Rosedale Mining Company. The mine is now a Scheduled Monument and the kilns are also Grade II listed structures.
