In 1967 a large, compact piece of Fe, weighing 1532 kg, was un-earthed. It was at first thought to be a meteorite, but micro examination and wet chemical analysis of cuttings resulting from sawing the piece in half gave C 0.1, Si 0. 11, Mn 0.02, P 0.244, S 0. 022, Cr 0.03, and V 0.06% with an absence of Ni, Mo, Co, and W, proving otherwise. The composition varied considerably in different sections, and as high as 2.2% C was found locally. The structure was about 80% ferritic. There were inclusions of slag, consisting of oxides and silicates of Fe. It was concluded that this was a piece of bloomery Fe made in the middle ages. -- AATA
