Author(s): Justine Bayley, K Eckstein
Excavations in the Roman fort and its annexe discovered some 65 kg of iron smithing debris. A large quantity (c.30 kg were retained) of litharge cakes were also found. The latter are a by-product of extracting silver from argentiferous lead and are only known from a very few Roman sites in Britain.
