Inchunthil, Scotland. The Romans retreated and did everything possible to leave the Celts with nothing of use, especially metal objects. They also burned the fort, and from the ash they removed the nails and staples used for axes. Everything, including non-transportable weapons and armor, and shaving razors (novacili—used by the Romans to distinguish themselves from the barbarians), was buried on site and hidden. The pit was discovered in 1961 by Professor Richmond of Oxford. It contained 763,840 small two-inch nails, 85,128 medium nails, 25,088 large nails, 1,344 extra-large nails, weapons and armor, for a total of 7 tons.
