Description: | A collection of metal working debris of possible Medieval - Post Medieval date. There are two large fragments of ceramic material, roughly concave in cross shape although the plan is irregular. The material is pale yellow to brown in colour with iron staining evident on the inside surface. The material is very porous with some organic material present. It is possible that these fragments come from a furnance wall that has been used to smelt metal. There is also four fragment of possible tap slag, dark grey in colour and not magnetic. Large amount of Medieval to Post Medieval pottery were collected along side the debris suggesting that metal working could have been carried out on this site c.1200-1600 AD.
