Due to the discovery of copper nuggets, charcoal, antimony ore, furnace bricks, and related items, archeologists believe the metallurgy workshop of Joachim Gans and Thomas Hariot was located immediately west of the English earthwork. One theory is that the earthwork was constructed as a means of defending the metallurgy workshop.
