Found with a loose paper note reading 'Scotland', although it is possible this refers to the Acland collection of agricultural implements from Shetland rather than this specific shovel. Scotland has therefore been added tentatively to the Place field.

Context (Amendments / updates)
In addition to the other note reading 'Scotland' another note was found with TEMP.00544-00568, newly bagged and tied to TEMP.00547, with '?Fens Unprovenanced' and so the geographic areas covering 'The Fens' has also been tentatively added to the place and production fields.
