I am interested in the Revolutionary War cannon foundry at Westham, near 
Ricmond, Va. Is there any information about the physical layout and 
appearance of the place? Has any archeology been done on that site? Any 
early images? I understand that the buildings there were raided and burnt by 
British forces early in 1781, but there was considerable talk about rebuilding 
and it seems that there was some kind of commercial operation there shortly 
after the war's end.

Any insights would be appreciated.
