wooden stakes

Pointed wooden posts

Wooden stakes are pointed pieces of wood driven into the ground to mark boundaries, support plants, or secure tents.

In vampire mythology, a wooden stake through the heart is the traditional method of killing the undead: She grabbed a wooden stake and faced the vampire.

Stakes for killing vampires are traditionally ash or hawthorn.
