Background

History

In 2010 or shortly before that year, thirteen 2nd-4th century BC (Middle Iron Age) copper smelting furnaces were found in Domgay Lane. These were clay-lined pits equipped with block tuyeres, the latter indicating the use of bellows. Further associated remnants pointed at the smelting of a zinc-rich copper carbonate ore, with very little slag by-product. This ore was likely extracted in Llanymynech Hill (see Llanymynech Heritage Area), which had shallow mine galleries from the Iron Age similar to those of Great Orme.
