23. Object of uncertain purpose, iron, slightly convex on the upper
face, flat behind, and with a small, flat tongue projecting
from the rear. A much rusted lump adhering to the front may
conceal a similar projection or it may have simply attached
itself in the ground. C3.
24. Collar, iron, four unevenly spaced nail holes for attachment to
a wooden shaft having an approximate diameter of 3-1/2 inches.
D6A.
25. Object of uncertain purpose, iron, rectangular-sectioned bar
narrowing to a small blade-like ear at one end and flattened
into the opposite plain at the other, apparently for
attachment. E4.
