Description
{1} One hundred and three trenches were excavated over an area of one hundred and two hectares. Trial trenching confirmed and further quantified and defined the extent of archaeological remains present. In general terms the site offers good archaeological potential and the focus of interest lies with the presence of Roman and Saxon iron smelting remains. Evidence for the industry was identified across the area and comprised groups of furnaces in the north part of the site and a number of linear features, interpreted as ore roasting pits, in the southwest and north east parts of the site. Site code: WKM05.
