Abstract: |
Archaeological evidence of medieval Lydney was confirmed by the excavation on the site of the demolished Lydney Institute. Medieval activity on the site, including metal working was also apparent. The presence of Roman type bloomery slag suggested that it was re-used as fuel for the adjacent blast furnace, although metal working similar in nature to the Roman processes may have continued in the immediate area. Significant deposits and features of post-medieval date were also recorded, these were thought to have been associated with the large scale iron workings on the adjacent site of Lydney furnace.[Au(abr)] |
