Next to the heel there is a small hole and a sqaure hole. The small circular hole is called a pritchel hole ( iron was placed over this hole when the blacksmith was punching hole is the iron). The bigger square hole is called the hardy hole. A tool called a hardy (a cutting tool) was placed in the hardy hole.
