What have i found in the shed ?

Chaps

I was sorting out the shed on my plot today,and in the darkness i found what looks like a pitch fork,but it is bent at an angle of 90 degrees and has a handle about 4 to 5 foot long.It's a bit like a big rake if you know what i mean

I am thinking it must be some use but what is and how do you use it.

Thanks for reading this post,Ian

If it's curved rather than angled, it could be a Potato Fork?

[Seahorse]

Is it a right angled fork?
