A mattock is a type of hoe, with a rectangular blade set at right angles to the long handle. It could be used for weeding crops, digging or clearing ditches, among other applications. The mattock and spade were always used in combination. Even the deepest and widest moats and the largest earth mounds were built in this way - all the local population would be drafted in to do all the manual labour and construction would progress fairly quickly.
