Very little metal was recovered from T 60 in 2014 and most of the metal found were small fragments of slag. The remainder of the finds includes a mix of iron and bronze artifacts.
In Loci 1 and 3 , which were topsoil, all metal finds recovered are modern and likely a result from erosion; one metal tack was found in these loci, which was modern in appearance, having a round top and a short pointed tip, and was found just under the surface with a mix of ancient tile and pottery.
Locus 2 yielded the rest of the metal finds, all of which appear to be ancient; in total, 4 of the 5 metal finds, or 80.00% of all metals found in T 60, came from this locus. Within this locus the metal finds consisted of an iron bar, a bronze flake, and two iron droplets, none of which were catalogued.
No metals were found in loci 3 , 4 , and 5 or in the baulk trim, however one small slag fragment was recovered from locus 5 .
In addition, very little quantities of slag were recovered from T 60 in 2014; all slag was iron slag and most of the slag was concentrated within locus 2 , although one fragment was recovered from locus 5 .
No slag was recovered from topsoil, in loci 1 and 3 . In locus 2 , 2 fragments of iron slag were recovered, weighing a total of 10 grams and consisting of 66.67% of all slag found in T 60 and 71.42% of all slag by weight. The only other locus to yield any slag was locus 5 , with one fragment weighing a total of 4 grams and consisting of 33.33% of all slag found in T 60 and 28.57% of all slag by weight.
