Full description

Exeter Archaeology, 2005, Archaeological evaluation at the former Halls Engineering Works, Market Square, Hemyock (Report - Evaluation). SDV47937.

Excavation in 2005 by Exeter Archaeology prior to development recovered a spread of slag based industrial waste from the west side of the site. The slag may have been imported to the site to fill an extensive depression. Initial examination of the slag confirmed that it represented iron working & included fragments of furnace which could be of Saxon date.
