An iron-smelting bloomery, consisting of a small bowl furnace along with deposits of slag and industrial waste and
metalworking debris, was discovered during the watching brief. All archaeological features were fully excavated. It appears that the bloomery was located on an artificially created platform.
Report lodged with WoSAS SMR and NMRS.
