Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken, which resulted in a subsequent rescue excavation. The evaluation revealed that the majority of the study site had been heavily terraced prior to the construction of an ironworks in the 19th century. Across the site a number of structures, features and deposits were observed which were associated with this ironworks. In the south-west of the site, a pit or ditch of 17th/18th century date was recorded along with a number of brick wall foundations and floor surfaces dating to the 19th century and a ragstone wall. The excavation recorded a probable 17th/18th century gravel extraction pit along with two cess pits of the same date, an 18th century cess pit, an 18th/19th century ragstone wall and a series of 18th/19th century industrial structures.
