<upd_detl>Nikk is the only source for them, and I think it's so marginal that it's a distraction to have them here. If anyone comes digging they'll find them in the comments.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Wasn't sure what to make of this and sort of forgot.
I don't see the mentioned clay slab meaning for "たたら", but the tatara furnace was built out of clay so that's maybe where that's from?

It seems たたら originally only referred to the furnace, but later came to be used for the building housing said furnace.</upd_detl>

Both kanji forms are jukujikun (smk, meikyo, etc.)

Daijs second sense:
2（「鑪」とも書く）1の装置をした砂鉄精錬炉。 (Their entry uses 鑪 as a search key)

<upd_detl>It just didn't make any sense to me earlier. I thought it might have been a typo.

Looking at it with fresh eyes, I realize the intention was to refer to the furnace or the building that houses the furnace.
I agree that we can do without that bit.</upd_detl>
