Abstract:		 A fluxgate gradiometer survey was conducted across the Myers Wood iron-smelting site. All the features identified were consistent with a substantial iron-working operation. The elaborate nature of the site suggested some degree of permanency and this was partly confirmed by the layout of the site. Delineated rectangles may probably have been used for the storage of iron ore and charcoal, and ore roasting may have also been conducted on the site. Furnace F1 may have represented several furnaces and the remnants of the slag dump may have been produced by them. It was also tentatively suggested that anomaly (i) may also have been the location of another furnace. Furnace F2 was down-slope of furnace F1 and appeared to be associated with a separate slag dump. The relationship of the two furnaces suggested that Furnace F2 pre-dated F1. Whilst it was unclear who operated the site, the layout of linear anomalies was not dissimilar to that of a geophysically surveyed monastic grange site at The Grange, Bilsdale. The layout suggested a high degree of on-site organisation which would have been consistent with monastic operation. [Au(adp)]
