Abstract
Slagged material found dispersed through the earth which had slumped from a Roman rampart at the site of the fort at Loughor was identified as the residue from a forge used for welding iron though the hypothesis that it derived from a bloomery cannot be entirely rejected. Fragments of wood as well as charcoal were embedded in some of the specimens examined. -- AATA
