Medieval History
Archaeologists in Melksham (located in the English county of Wiltshire) have uncovered evidence of medieval iron working believed to date from the 13th-14th century.
A team from Cotswold Archaeology has been excavating before new housing is built at Clackers Brook on the east of Melksham.
?The finds are very tantalising? said senior project officer Alistair Barber.
?One discovery in particular stands out. We have uncovered a rectangular pit measuring 1m wide, 2m in length and 0.5m deep which bears some very unusual scorch marks, indicating that the pit was heated to a very high temperature.
