An ironworking site excavated by Rose Cleary (04E1306) and described as 'two adjacent pits cut into orange subsoil and connected by a 0.03m-deep shallow linear depression. Both pits contained iron slag, clay lining from the furnace pits and iron bloom in the fills and this indicates that the pits were associated with ironworking. The absence of lime or limestone fluxes in the iron indicates a date in the Early Christian period for use of this site.'
