Longpockets:
Many thanks for the photographs but they were not like those shown.


These were in the floor spaced out along the length of the building thus, with some distance between each group.

2nd photo

jimawilliams:
These photos were taken in 2003, maybe they will help in identifying the location of what you saw.  One photo shows what appears to be pins/nails attaching cladding to a cover from a window opening.  Maybe these are similar to what you saw? I have higher definition copies if needed.  Also more pictures of the same area.

Longpockets:
Visiting Upnor Castle a few years ago in the upper floor of what was the powder store (where weddings are now held) I came across what appeared to be the heads of oversized drawing pins which were copper rather than brass. They were arranged in groups of lines down the length of the building, starting with one stud and increasing two, three etc. side by side as if they were denoting a row of stored materials.


Anyone have any idea what they were for please?
