Abstract:		 Prior to the residential development of the site, Stoke-on-Trent Archaeology undertook the archaeological evaluation of a parcel of land off Upper Belgrave Road, Normacot, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire (NGR SJ 9197 4234). The site was the former location of Normacot Vicarage, a 19th-century building allegedly converted from a 17th-century inn, and lay adjacent to the former Meir Heath ironworks, which was probably in operation from the late 16th to mid 18th century. The evaluation involved the excavation of three trenches, two of which were targeted on the remains of the vicarage and the third sited to investigate any evidence of the former ironworks within the south of the site. Very little structural and no artefactual evidence of the former vicarage or its occupants was found during the course of the evaluation, as it appeared that the demolition of the building had been extremely thorough. Although no structures pertaining to the Meir Heath ironworks were encountered on the site, evidence for metalworking activity in the form of blast furnace slag was found in abundance. The recovery and analysis of this material indicated that the furnace relied on charcoal as its fuel source and used a limestone flux, both typical factors of 17th- or 18th-century blast furnace slag. No evidence of coke being used as a fuel was identified, implying that the furnace was never converted from charcoal firing.
