SLAG AND OTHER TECHNOLOGICAL FINDS FROM REAWLA, CORNWALL.
Author(s): Justine Bayley
This site, a round, was occupied from 2nd-4th centuries AD. The slag came mainly from dumping in a ditch and weighed under 3 kg in total; it suggests small scale blacksmithing. About half the total weight of slag comprised fragments of clay tuyere blocks that had been built into the side of a hearth and which, when complete, would have measured about 250 x 150 x 70 mm. Metal finds included most of a plano-convex lead ingot about 80 mm in diameter.
