Abstract:		 In July 2018 ArcHeritage were commissioned by Great Place Wentworth and Elsecar in partnership with Elsecar Heritage Action Zone to undertake a two week community archaeology research project at Milton Forge Recreation Ground. This was undertaken to locate and excavate archaeological remains of the former Milton Forge. The initial strategy entailed two evaluation trenches located on a possible foundation base for a blast furnace. The location was based on historic mapping, and a series of magnetic anomalies discovered during a magnetometry survey of the recreation ground undertaken by Historic England. Trench 2 did not contain significant archaeological remains so a third trench was opened in the second week to investigate another geophysical anomaly of potential archaeological significance. In addition two extensions were made to Trench 1 in order to further expose and better understand structures uncovered during the first week. The structure and the well-preserved deposits associated with in Trench 1 are interpreted as the remains of a Calcining Kiln; a structure for primary processing of iron ore prior to smelting in a blast furnace. The discovery of the Calcining Kiln was not expected as it was not recorded on any maps or plans of Milton Forge. Based on the evidence from the excavations the kiln appears to date to the early days of the Milton Ironworks.
