Archaeological recording undertaken at ST15740076 in 2000 prior to a residential development revealed several features which produced a quantity of iron slag. A few fragments were identified as tap slag and a fragment of possible furnace lining attests to a smelting site in the vicinity. Hammerscale recovered from colluvial deposits indicate secondary iron working was also taking place.
