Talk: ‘The Harpole Treasure’ by Dr Claire Finn
In 2022 while excavating an Iron Age field system in Harpole there was an incredible discovery – an isolated 7th Century Saxon bed burial. Dr Claire Finn will provide an overview of the discovery including the eye-catching gold garnet and glass necklace with its spectacular cross pendant as well as the grave itself which tells more about the individual and what their life was like.
