Abstract

A brief summary is presented of the evidence for medieval and earlier lead smelting in southern Scotland. Antiquarian, place-name and field evidence indicates widespread smelting with concentrations close to the Leadhills-Wanlockhead orefield and in the Manor Valley, Peebleshire. Four smelting sites have produced 10th-11th century AD radiocarbon dates.
