I don't have access to the journals either. But would like to pose a
question and make a suggestion. When you refer to a "forge" what do you
mean, as there are at least nine different kinds? As this one is fairly
early and is water powered I'll assume it is probably a bloomery.
In order to avoid confusion, it would be better to only use the word
"forge" by itself when it is used as a verb. It would be preferable to
refer to an iron site as a finery or bloomery, or finery forge or
bloomery forge. This eliminates any possible confusion as to what kind
of "forge".
