Abstract:		 Large quantities of ironworking waste were recovered from a Romano-British settlement at Westhawk Farm near Ashford, in the Weald. The waste was concentrated around the archaeological remains of two workshops, one pre-dating the other. Both smelting and smithing took place in the workshops, and several furnaces, a possible hearth and a working floor rich in hammerscale survived. The raw materials used in the production of iron at the site have been identified and the formation processes for different types of slag have been investigated through analysis of the waste. The scale of the iron industry at Westhawk has been estimated and is discussed in the context of Wealden iron production in the Roman period.
