I can think of half a hundred reasons for an iron cauldron winding up in the water and very few of them are "ritual"

Offsetting that is the unavoidable fact iron is bloody expensive to make and so the innate value of even broken iron goods at the time has to be borne in mind.

The title (bbc's fault) is a bit "highest test score by left handed bowler on a Tuesday in shropshire"
