Place & story
Slag and charcoal
Investigations at Mucklagh 1 identified two small deposits containing charcoal-rich silt, slag and other metalworking debris. The National Monuments Service records that they lay about two metres apart in a possible linear feature. Linda Hegarty of Headland Archaeology investigated the site under licence E2845. The evidence establishes metalworking activity, but this account provides no precise date or identification of the objects being made. [2]
