Description
Several large blocks of slag were recovered from the edge of a field, during a site visit to land to the east of Folly Lane, Norton Disney. {1}
Later analysis of samples taken from the slag blocks strongly indicated that they were pit-type iron smelting slags of probable mid Iron Age date, suggesting that the smelting of significant quantities of iron was being conducted somewhere in this vicinity at that time. {2}
