Full Description
Wooden wheel, carved from a solid single piece of oak. It is 80mm thick at the rim but in the centre of one face a flat boss, 250mm square, has been left standing proud by another 80mm. The central hole is 120mm by 70mm, suggesting a rotating axle. An ancient fracture divides the wheel 1/3 : 2/3. This has been repaired evidently, as two pairs of staple holes can be seen on one face. Found while digging drainage channels on golf course. The wheel lay in a peaty layer circa 1.5m below present surface.
