Abstract
A structure of massive build, filled with clay, was revealed crossing the Soudley Valley in the Forest of Dean, West Gloucestershire. It is suggested that this is the so-called ‘King’s Forge’, an iron working complex built in 1612 for James I, and mentioned in detail in 1635. The excavated data is limited, and consists mainly of construction deposits (masonry and clay infill). Hypotheses concerning the layout of the complex, particularly the forge, waterwheels and dam, are offered.
