    What if you can't find a pike, would a perch do? Or a trout? ;)

    You would be better off sitting on a perch fishing for trout eating grapes as you'd get feck all done piking silage with a fork or prong
    You'd be better off using nothing but your bare hands.

    Have no idea what that yoke is really...

    But sure I'll throw in a guess for the craic ;)
    is it like some sort of shovel? Maybe for planting something in behind it?

    OK do any of ye know what this is and what is is used for?
    It's a miniature of the real thing, a trophy. My Uncle won several of them over his lifetime.
    Nek, Kovu, Daisy, Farrell and any of ye in Longford, Cavan and Leitrim and in the Northern Counties will know what it is and are not allowed to comment ;)

    You sometimes dig them up in a fairy fort.

    Now this I haven't heard? Why? Is it a symbol left to mark something?
