* E. W. Ilulme, op cit ., p,30.
** The figures in brackets are either an estimate of average production a few years prior to 1718, or an estimate of the maximum output of each forge . Ibid, pp .16-17.
*** Kidwelly was listed as a furnace, and not a forge in 1717 ; more than probably, this was an error on the part of the compiler, as no other source speaks of a furnace at the site.
