One major point : this represents late Medieval iron production - the use of a large blast furnace to convert iron to a high carbon cast iron. This is a two set process (as illustrated), with the resulting ingots needing a second carbon *reduction* phase to convert the material to a lower carbon wrought iron which can be forged (hammered).
