Bloomery in Sabden Fold

Today we set out our planned excavation of a suspected bloomery (iron smelting site) at Sabden Fold, Goldshaw Booth, near Padiham, Lancashire.  We laid out a grid and undertook a levelling survey.  We start excavating 10.15am next Saturday, 1st May.  Why not come along?

  2. After staking & twigging your humour has become 'post' ironic
