darkazana 1,736 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Well it definitely is woody at the bottom, and I'm sure that they are beechnuts to the right of the picture, which looks like rusty iron, and I bet you took the picture while out mushroom picking!!!

Compo 10,328 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 The odd angle is indeed chain links. Part of the chain that was attached to the former Connell chain ferry in Argyle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Type of capstan? Timber was inserted into a slot then men turned it to moor a ship. Couple of years ago, stayed in a B & B at Connel behind the Lobster Pot restruant overlooking the Falls of Lora. Beautiful . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here's the full picture. Note that the capstan post is buried under a landslip: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
