The following evidence from the Roman period has been included here for comparative evidence.
====Wooden tent pegs====
*Newstead, Oak, triangular section, 250-500mm long [BISHOP and & COULSTON 2006:p.116]
====Iron tent pegs====
We've included these as comparisons. Found in Castle Künzing Quintanis (Germany) they are dated to the 2nd/3rd century AD. The original photo can be found [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Roman_Tent-pegs.jpg here]. A possible argument for the continuation of this style of tent peg as suggested by [http://europa-reenactment.org/saxon_tent.php Europa Reenactment] can be put forward by the pegs illustrated in BL Cotton Claudius B IV fol 21v.
