Mistaken claim to iron-working site, Treborough

DETAIL

MORE INFORMATION & SOURCES

+ / -

Aiano lists a Roman iron-working site in Treborough
parish, relying on Scarth, who in turn relies on Jones. But the
last speaks only of good iron ore at Treborough and Luxborough,
mentioning Roman exploitation in general terms only as 'most
clearly proved by the coins and mining implements which have
been discovered in the refuse matter in this neighbourhood'.
There are no known iron mining sites with Roman remains in
Treborough parish, though there are in the adjoining parishes
of Luxborough and Brompton Regis. (1-3)

Howes "believes" there to be evidence of early iron working
(similar to that at Aldworthy Farm - SS 93 NW 10) at
Treborough. (4)
