Miscellaneous Note – 'This last century relic was found at the old derelict Brickworks, Carisbrooke. I.O.W. It would appear to have been handmade, and probably it was forged at the local blacksmiths nearby. Its use was for the digging of clay for making the bricks before mechanical methods were employed.’
