Small piece of white slag, undatable. This piece of slag suggests that metalworking and/or smelting was carried out on site but without any other evidence for metalworking (i.e. pieces of moulds, miscasts, artefacts or fragments thereof) it is almost impossible to suggest a date for the fragment.

Black glassy slag. Industrial residue: probably waste from a heavy industry of post-medieval to modern date. Greenish glassy material resembling this in all but its tint continues to be reused as hardcore of specified grades b y the construction industry up to the present day, while solid residues and slags from furnaces were similarly used for building or even decorative purposes through the 20th century. The accompanying finds tend to confirm the likelihood of a recent date. Suggested date: Modern, 1900-1930. Length: 100mm, Width: 77mm, Thickness: 53mm, Weight: in excess of 500gms.
