AN EVALUATION OF THE IRONWORKING SITE OF SHERRACOMBE, DEVON
Author(s): D Starley
An ironworking complex on Exmoor, subsequently dated to the late Iron Age or early Roman period, was investigated using a fluxgate gradiometer to scan the visible remains. A range of samples of metalworking debris, including slag collected from the site, was analysed using X-ray diffraction spectrometry. The effectiveness of the rapid scanning technique is discussed with reference to the composition of ironworking debris.
