Where it stands

Still possibleOne piece of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

What it predicts

  • Geophysical survey of the field will locate kiln structures and waste dumps of medieval or post-medieval date.
  • Glass from the site will match the composition of other forest glassworks in the Bourbonnais hills.

What would rule it out

  • The glass and crucible debris prove to be imported fill or modern dumping rather than in-situ working waste.
