Full Description
Metalworking residues/discard were found in trench 2 during the evaluation. This is thought to have been associated with various processes related to the hot working of iron objects which included smithing the bloom in to an iron bar, fire welding and the manufacture of iron objects. No evidence of a smithing hearth or anvil were found, but the residues do not tend to travel far from the site of production, suggesting that industrial activity is located close by.
Pottery associated with the deposits shows that the industry was established by the 3rd century AD and had continued up until the late 3rd - 4th century.
