Hinge, no bracket ...

A slab of stone with a hole chiselled out with rough care. An iron spike crafted in some local smithy and fixed into the hole with a lead lining. Brayed home and tightened up with an extra spike as a wedge. Made probably a century or so ago. The gate has long gone, just the tall, thin flat stone slab remains in the hedgerow near Watermillock.
