Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
An iron-working bloomery mound was excavated by in 2004 at the head of Glen Docherty, near Kinlochewe, Achnasheen, Highland. A mound of waste material was excavated and dated to the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries on the basis of radiocarbon analysis. A solidified bed of ferruginous deposit was revealed during the bloomery mound excavations but was found to be of an earlier date (1050--1285 AD). There was no further evidence for metalworking installations. A charcoal-burning platform was also excavated in Glen Docherty in 2005 and radiocarbon dated to the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries. The above provide evidence for a long involvement with iron making in this part of the western Highlands and prior to the seventeenth century when the area, and the north shore of Loch Maree in particular, became known as the location for the installation of the first charcoal-operated blast furnace in Scotland.
