Smithy(?) Hearth

Hearth and flue in left-hand corner of building in picture above.

This hearth is less built up than obvious smithy hearths at Egryn and Hendre and there is no sign of the stub walls found at those locations. Consequently, it is difficult to be certain that this was a smithy.

To the left of the hearth on the ground (visible near bottom right of picture) is a cast iron artefact, purpose unknown. (See next picture for close-up.)
