Quote:Whether it is definitely a tent peg is uncertain surely? A peg for tethering or fastening 'something' but probably not just for tents - it could have many many uses. Why would a tent peg be carried into battle? It would have been left with the tents in the baggage train wouldn't it?
I don´t know where exactly the tent peg was found...but there have been some cart-parts nearby as well.
By the way...it looks as if the top of it has never seen a hammer at all.
