Recent research at the University of Bradford has been very effective in evaluating early iron‐working sites using geophysical techniques. In addition, lead and copper smelting sites have been surveyed with a fluxgate gradiometer. Although the fluxgate gradiometer readings from these sites are lower than those from iron‐smelting sites it is possible to identify anomalies related to the different smelting methods. The paper provides details of some of the surveys and the different features that may be identified. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of selected slag samples provided additional information.
