What is recorded here
Situated on a gentle S-facing slope. Test excavation (05E0243) revealed features associated with metal-working (Pollock 2009). These included pits and linear features packed with cobblestones and waste from metal-working. No furnaces were found, but the waste suggests that medieval or earlier metal-working was conducted in the vicinity. Earthwork sites (WA025-049----) and (WA025-050----) are c. 80m to the NW and c. 60m to the W respectively.
