In the autumn of 1993 a new farm pond was created in a low lying boggy area of this 16th-century mining site. As the spoil heaps around the pond weathered during the last year, they were regularly walked and material recovered from the surface. This includes sherds of medieval pottery, medieval shoes and pieces of textile, also bone, slag and ore. The pottery suggests a 13th to 14thcentury date.

All the material is being deposited in the conservation laboratory of the National Museum. Material is still being recovered.

S Oakes 1994.
