SD4771 : Circular plug of iron waste, Warton Sands
taken 9 years ago, 3 km from Carnforth, Lancashire, England
Circular plug of iron waste, Warton Sands
An inspection of the slag heaps and outcrops dumped here from the old Carnforth iron works often reveals large disc-shaped plugs. Some of them obviously have a high iron content, hence the rusty composition as shown here. I imagine they were plugs of some kind used to hold molten iron or waste slag in a container but I would not know.
