Silbury Hill?

Building underground access for a Roman building? In that there London? Possibly Billingsgate?

Yes, Kev! You're on the right track with `underground access for a Roman building'. Not in London but neither is it that far from the Big Smoke. Remember I mentioned a major motorway, and think north.

Is it somewhere near the great north road?

I see you'll be blown off today if indeed you were planning on doing any climbing. Looks like a nasty day coming up. The wind hasn't struck us yet.....

Bang on the money, Tom!
Welwyn Roman Baths is a 3rd-century bath complex that formed part of the Dicket Mead Roman villa. The baths lie directly underneath the A1(M) motorway, protected by a steel vault. Welwyn Roman Baths

The article is well worth reading. The site was found by a local archaeologist named Tony Rook in 1960 and he and his wife formed the Welwyn Archaeology Society which spent years exposing the rooms - then they found that the new A1(M) motorway route was going to run over the site!

What is it? It's an oldie, you've see it before and no doubt will remember it.

Is it for branding?

No but very close Gloria, I'm sure you will get it....

Brazier for castration

I'm guessing at disbudding calf horns.

Tom has it, sorry Wendy but you and Gloria were so close. Its a hot gelding iron......
Next one for shaving?

What is it?

Is it a cover over a keyhole?

Nay.

Part of a gate hinge?

Nay. It is part of the construction though.

End of the hinge?

I probably didn't word that properly. It's not hinge related but is part of the 'construction' of something.

It's also a decorative part of the whole object and there are more than one of them.

Support plates over the joints in the timber

That's pretty much it, they're on a table
