Wilson's report includes an inventory of what his men destroyed during this raid. I also recall finding a an account by a Kentucky veteran from Crossland's Brigade which sounded as if he and his comrades defended this site. There's a state park web site that includes a little information, and a local historian has produced a good web page on the History of the Shelby Ironworks.
Here's that URL:
