Abstract:		 South West Archaeology were commissioned to undertake a series of test pits in the grounds of Brayford School. Three of the test pits excavated during this work encountered thin, but undisturbed deposits of iron smelting waste, interpreted due to their similarity to be of Roman date as previously excavated deposits from the western part of Brayford. The significance of this rests in the confirmation that Roman-period iron smelting occurred in the eastern part of the village, as well as in the western and central areas. Following the test pitting archaeological monitoring was carried out in advance of the construction of a new terraced playing area. The excavation revealed several linear features and a posthole concealed beneath a spread of iron smelting debris. The largest linear feature, a field or possible enclosure boundary, produced a mass of primary smelting waste and a single sherd of Romano-British greyware, and all of the features are likely to be of Roman date. These represent some of the first features to produce securely stratified Roman metalworking debris in the Brayford area.
