Abstract: |
Results from East Wall showed an interesting pattern of strong anomalies in the orchard field, many of which were archaeoloigcal in nature. However, almost half of this area was disturbed magnetically by modern debris. The area to the southeast of the farm was also disturbed. Excavation of one weak defned magnetic anomaly revealed a medieval furnace giving strength to a archaeological interpretation for other responses highlighted in the survey. The area within the garden at Oldfurnace Cottage was small but still revealed strong anomalies associated with successive slag heaps. Other areas in the environments produced results that also indicated industrial type activity and the interpretation was confirmed by subsequent excavation. [Au(abr)] |
