Metalworking site in Drummond Otra

Discovered during archaeological monitoring (Excavation Licence No. 00E0108). A limited area was excavated to facilitate development. A pit (max. diam. 1.8m; D 0.36m) and spreads of burnt charcoal rich clay were uncovered. Fragments of slag and pieces of oxidised decayed metal were recovered from the pit. The excavator suggests that this was probably the edge of a more substantial site. (Bermingham 2002, 267-8) Date of upload: 14 April 2011
