exactly what it says paul ,the farmers used to take out beer ,wine,spirits to the field workers in barrels to quench there thirst at harvest time .the barrel would have a tap fitted and to stop the workers helping themselfs it would be locked and only opened by the key that fitted it which was only held by the farmer or foreman .taps locks and keys are quite common finds over here
