Nails

Inchtuthill, near Perth, was planned as a major Roman base in Scotland. They began to build there in about 83 AD, but changed their plans and abandoned the site about 4 years later. When they left Inchtuthill, the Romans completely demolished everything they had already built, making sure that nothing of any value fell into enemy hands. The most remarkable find was a pit containing over one million unused nails of various sizes. Sets of these nails have been given to museums all over the world.
