Beauport Park is a Romano-British iron working site located near Hastings in East Sussex. The site was in operation during the later Roman period, particularly from the second century onwards, and represents one of the most significant iron production centres in Roman Britain. Archaeological evidence including slag heaps, furnace structures, and associated finds demonstrates intensive iron smelting and working activities that supplied both local and wider markets. The site's remote woodland location was chosen deliberately to exploit local iron ore deposits and timber resources necessary for fuel and charcoal production.
