Historic England Research Records

Monument Number 190116

Hob Uid: 190116
Location :
Somerset
South Somerset
Whitestaunton
Grid Ref : ST2643009000
Summary : Iron Age or Romano British slag from iron working has been found in the area partly within the area of Whitestaunton Camp (ST 20 NE 2). The scheduling of the camp includes part of this area interpreting it as an iron working site.
More information : Several dense pieces of iron slag, dark grey with
blow holes and run marks, in 5-10 kg lumps have recently been
found at ST 26430900, and the local farmer has also found slag
at ST 26020878 when taking out a hedge. Other slag has been found
on local hill tops, cf ST 21 SE 8. (It is implied that the
recently found slag is associated with 'Whitestaunton Camp'
ST 20 NE 2, since the first mentioned lot was on its periphery.
The slag recorded on ST 21 SE 8 is supposed to have been Roman).
(See ST 20 NE 47). (1)
