Abstract
Early lead smelting sites in the Swaledale area of Yorkshire
S Murphy
H Baldwin
1 - 21
Article on bale smelting sites in the Swaledale area, the locations of which were influenced by several factors including the position within a few kilometres of lead mines; access to the valley floor; and an elevation high enough to catch the prevailing winds. The site topography was very varied, and an additional geological factor was a position with a refractory silicious base rock underfoot. In some areas there are many more bale sites than elsewhere and possible reasons for this are discussed. Most sites had no associated pits or structures and little slag, indicating batch smelting of small quantities of pure galena. Possibly larger quantities were smelted in shallow pits with a forward opening, set on a slope at the head of a brow. A few sites had charcoal dumps and slags, indicating that higher temperatures were attained, and the technical implications of this are considered.
Rookhope Old Smelt Mill, Rookhope, County Durham: results of the 1995 survey
Richard Smith
Alan Blackburn
22 - 32
Report on a survey of Rookhope Old Smelt Mill, confirming its use for smelting lead ores. There were one and possibly two smelting mills on the site together with evidence of slag crushing and ore dressing operations. There is a system of leats to supply water to the various operations. The site is overlain to the west by the dam of the newer Rookhope Smelt Mill, and the shafts and outlet from the Tailrace Level to the east. Work by the Environment Agency has since destroyed much of the old smelt mill site.
