Made up of jewellery with a distinctive Roman feel to it, the hoard contains two sets of jewellery comprising a neck torc, a pair of brooches held together with a chain and two gold bracelets. The hoard was likely to have been left for safekeeping or as a religious offering. One chain remains undiscovered. Also, this jewellery might have been a diplomatic gift to a Chieftain ruling in southern Britain, possibly related to Commius of the Atrebates. </p> Photo by Helen Etheridge.</div> |
