Abstract:
This survey was carried out in 1979 and particular thanks are owed to Tony Weaver and Ken Housman for their advice and assistance, and to Mr. Peter Curties, the owner, for permission to examine the site over a long period. When the survey was undertaken the site lay in woodland consisting of a few mature oaks and wild cherries amid a low undergrowth of ash saplings. Since the storm of 1987 the site has become virtually impenetrable.

Iron Plat, Buxted, Sussex and Forge Site Survey 1990/1, by D. M. Meades and R. G. Houghton, published 1992 in Wealden Iron Research Group (Second Series No. 12, article, pp.23-26, ISSN: 0266-4402) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 16400] & The Keep [LIB/506560]   Download PDF
Abstract:
The WIRG Field Group surveyed this site as part of its 1990/1 winter programme. This account supplements the information given in the gazetteer of The Iron Industry of the Weald, 148, 339, which suggests that the furnace at Iron Plat may have been one of four furnaces which are mentioned in the Hogge papers (Crossley 1974:52). No other documentary references to Iron Plat are known. Remains on the ground indicate that, in addition to a furnace, there was a conversion forge at this site. Whether the two were contemporary, or one succeeded the other and if so in what order is unknown.
