This three pronged barley fork was used for gathering barley stalks and lifting sheafs of barley to stack. The middle prong extends upwards at a different angle to the outside two prongs, and part of the wooden handle remains in the socket. It was, according to the donor, 'always on the farm' at Arkington Farm, Berkeley.
