NachtragThe Inchtuthil hoard
When it was excavated in the 1950s by Richmond a large pit was found containing more than 750,000 iron nails and other iron objects weighing a total of ten tonnes. The pit was elaborately concealed, and the nails and ironwork were almost certainly buried by the troops to deny them to the local tribes when they dismantled the fortress before they finally left. Several thousand of the nails were sold to raise funds for further work on the site.
The almost 2000 year old iron Inchtuthil nails have been used by atomic scientists to estimate the corrosion effects on barrels of nuclear waste
