Monument record MLI82805 - Possible Anglo-Saxon industrial activity, Holbeach
Summary
Possible Anglo-Saxon industrial activity, Holbeach
Type and Period (2)
Protected Status/Designation
Full Description
PRN 23770
During the watching brief burnt deposits and a single fragment of iron slag were recorded. The slag is of a distinctive type and will have been part of a slag block that formed within a slag pit below a bloomery furnace. Although there is no direct dating evidence, local geology suggests that this area was close to the Anglo-Saxon coastline and it is likely that this activity can be attributed to this period. {1}{2}
