Abstract:

Note on ongoing survey and excavation work at Bollihope Common, the long-term aim of which is to reconstruct the land-use and settlement history of the area. Structures identified so far include enclosures, hut circles and platforms, charcoal burning platforms, lead and iron smelting sites, possible small coal pits and small cairns. Lead and iron slag and bowl-like furnace bottoms have also been recorded. A long house with apparently bowed sides was recorded inside a nineteenth-century, stone built enclosure known as Pegg's House. A possible round house and a horse-shoe shaped enclosure were excavated.
