Heavy iron quoit (1)

Quoits were heavy iron rings, rounded on one side, flat on the other and weighing 8-12 pounds, but could be up to 23 pounds. They were hurled at a steel pin driven into a three-foot square clay bed, with the common length of the green being 22 yards.   Although competetive quoiting largely died out after WWI, a version is still played recreationally today in garden hoopla, which is often seen at gala days or village fetes.
