الوصف
This is a keg, used to contain an agricultural labourer's daily ration of cider. It was used up to c.1830, after which, according to the donor, labourers started to bring their own beer. It is not known where this keg was used, but the donor claims that locally it was called a 'costril'. It previously had handles, now broken off, which enabled the keg to be hung from the hames of a carthorse.
