Abstract:		 Desk-based research, a walkover survey and a Level 2 measured earthwork survey on land at Cawthorne Park woods were undertaken to record the extent of survival of features relating to Cawthorne Upper and Lower Smithies, their spoilheaps, water-management systems and associated iron ore mining areas. The project was commissioned by the Woodland Outreach Learning Foundation and funded as part of the East Peak Industrial Heritage Support Programme. The desk-based assessment demonstrated that ironworking was being carried out in the Cawthorne area during the medieval period. The range of resources within the wood would make it a prime location for ironworking during this period. The earliest clear documentary evidence for the Cawthorne Park bloomery dates from 1608, but it is likely to have been operative from the 16th century. The last known lease on Cawthorne Smithies was taken out in 1630 and the site may have closed by 1657. The walkover and measured surveys within Cawthorne Park woods revealed a predominantly industrial landscape, with the likely bloomery site, several substantial slag dumps and areas that have been mined extensively through the use of bell pits. Any sub-surface archaeological deposits could be preserved in good condition, though the heavily-wooded nature of the site means that remains are likely to have been impacted by tree root action. Comparison with similar sites indicates that the Cawthorne Park Wood site could be of Regional or even National significance.
