💨 Abstract

An Iron Age hoard containing over 800 items, including vehicle components, ceremonial spears, and pony harnesses, was discovered in Melsonby, North Yorkshire, by a metal detectorist in 2021. The hoard, dating back to the 1st century, was found in two ditches and is believed to have been deliberately thrown there, challenging the assumption that wealth and power in pre-Roman England were concentrated in the south.
