A couple of things that may interest you, the word 'Trigole' -'the 3 marks or paths of a road, via the wheel tracks and horse tracks. these are to be seen on a road that has been recently metalled.' from The Glossary of the Demetian Dialect of north pembrokeshire by Rev. W meredith Morris. Basically your 3 lines may indicate a path or road. It would be interesting to check all the shapes of the beakers from above, so see if they are all oval 9:10, random shapes or perfect circles. There are other words for the drinking of alcohol at the end of harvest and at funerals, plus the caffine one (even more of a long shot), is the word for fortune telling using leaves in drinks. Lao the druids it says in this book, used a birch twig to anoint from sacred vessels. So Birch trees also a possibility. The silver birch may well have been planted in sacred places (eg the end of an Avenue from a stone circle) along with Rowan trees along the avenue, or branches from the trees. Obviously, we'll never know, but just ideas.cakebread Illustrationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08924624625193299607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886680068187530519.post-37617902140160219522016-05-25T17:44:25.871-05:002016-05-25T17:44:25.871-05:00Interesting.
