Bronze Age ploughing was performed with the ard, consisting of a share, stilt, draft-pole & yoke. This was used to cross-plough at right angles to break up the soil & remove weeds. This ard from Dorney, Buckinghamshire is made from a half split log of Field Maple. From BAS-Newsletter-Autumn-2018.pdf
