6 Wednesday 5th May - Trench 5 Opened & Slag Excavated from Trench 3

Good turnout and good progress!  While we are clearly excavating an area used for smelting iron, we are struggling to interpret what we see.  The excavation is widening in search of answers.  If you can interpret what we are finding, we should welcome your comments on these posts or by email to archaeologygroup@googlemail.com
The report for Wednesday is here.

We are so enjoying the word "slag"!
