Excavation at Hafod foundry, photograph

Jones, Robert Protheroe (Photographer)

Archaeological excavation at Hafod foundry, Swansea, 21 August 2015. Looking NNW at the ashpit of what appears to be a reverbatory furnace projecting from the east end of the main foundry building. The core of the furnace has been extensively obscured by multiple later masonry insertions and its identification as a reverbatory is not confirmed.
