copperworks
Bronze-age industrial site
A copperworks is a facility where copper is smelted, refined, or manufactured into products.
The term typically refers to industrial operations from the 18th through early 20th centuries, when copper processing was a major industry: The old copperworks employed half the town.
Like ironworks and steelworks, the word is singular despite the -s ending.
