Trennels

Was at Corfe Castle in Dorset over the weekend, and realised that it's the edge of AF country, in particular when looking at an explanation of how wooden buildings were built within the safety of the castle:
'square wooden pegs called trennels 'tree nails' were hammered into drilled holes in the wood, hence the saying 'a square peg in a round hole''
