Hoe blade

This iron blade for a hoe was found in a large hoard of Roman and native metalwork, buried at Blackburn Mill near Cockburnspath in Berwickshire sometime between 80 and 200 AD.

Native Iron Age iron adze from Blackburn Mill

The Blackburn Mill hoard contained over 65 objects, mainly agricultural tools, deposited in two bronze cauldrons in an area which probably was an ancient lake. The objects are of both Roman and native origin, probably buried as a gift to the gods.
