Some numpty (not me) seems to have dropped a long length of hardwood

to get the wood out but it probably hasn't been touched since it was
built (1930s) and I can't work out what the fixings are. I've got the
paint and render off the fixings and the heads seem to be domed, but no
slot or other means of undoing the things.
HELP!

Is this with a view to separating the "shoe" from the downpipe?
