Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land adjoining Millend House, Millend Lane, Mitcheldean, Gloucestershire (NGR: SO 663 185). It was undertaken on behalf of Mrs Elaine Powell, who intends residential development of the site, for which a planning application will be submitted to Forest of Dean District Council. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological remains were present and if so to indicate their nature, date and location. The archaeological remains identified comprise medieval activity in the form of an iron bloomery and possible structure surrounding the bloomery. Associated surfaces, pits and dumps of iron smelting waste were also of a medieval date. A probable early post-medieval demolition deposit and successive garden deposits sealed the medieval features and layers. Given the high level of survival of both structural remains and deposits of medieval date the site is thus considered to be of regional importance and to have a high potential for yielding further information, regarding both the occupation and industrial utilisation of this part of Mitcheldean. These remains are vulnerable to disturbance by development, given their existence at approximately 1.00m below the present ground surface. |
