Abstract:The WIRG Field Group visited the site (TQ 600186) on three occasions. Heathfield was one of the most important sites in the Weald in the eighteenth century but it has suffered considerable depredation and Cleere and Crossley's description (1985: p.335) requires little amendment

The term fonderie ou feronnerie was used in 1454 to describe the ironworks built shortly before that date by two Walloons on land belonging to the Bishop of Beauvais on the river Avelon in the eastern or Picard part of the Pays de Bray. All documents from the Pays de Bray subsequently keep to fonderie as the term used to denote a blast furnace during the 15th and 16th centuries.

Abstract:The Pays de Bray is an elongated hollow within the extensive Chalk upland of northern France, formed by erosion of an anticline that brings Lower Cretaceous and Jurassic rocks to the surface. It is analogous to the Weald, though much simpler in structure. It is bounded on each side by a Chalk escarpment that attains heights of 220 to 235m (around 750ft) above sea level.
