The remains consist of two chimneys of the annealing ovens, a linking wall and a lean-to building. The brassworks was founded in the 1760's by William Champion of Warmley. The two pylon shaped chimneys are approximately 25' high and are constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings, coping and quoins. Through arches from east to west on Eastern chimney and from north to south on Western chimney; above are tall, narrow openings for the missing balance beams. The Western chimney has a 'V' mark of a former outbuilding on its south side; the Eastern chimney has a single storey lean-to with a double Roman tiled roof on the north side. Between the two chimneys is a linking wall which is pierced by two segmental-headed openings. The Kelston brass works was sold to the Bristol Brass Company in 1769 and it was used to produce batteryware until the 1840's.
