Cast cu-alloy comb-shaped object which was part of a surveyor's chain indicating a yard every five chain links. Originally, these chains were used to measure out cricket pitches, but eventually, as the British Empire spread, they were used by surveyors and parts of these chains (links and tags) may be found in all parts of the former Empire.
