Summary

[edit]
Description PAS-F070D5 - A badly damaged gold torc, or necklace, dating to the Iron Age, this item was found in two pieces, on two separate occasions, almost 50 years apart. It appears to have suffered damage from a plow, resulting in the separation of one terminal and the unravelling of the many gold wires that make it up. To learn more about the discovery of the item, visit the website of the Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project [Link] - S.H.A.R.P. for short - a volunteer for whom located the terminal in 2004. The location of the find in Sedgeford, Norfolk, is nearby to Snettisham, where a hoards of torc were found in the mid 20th Century. The Sedgeford torc is housed in the British Museum alongside a virtually identical specimen found in 2005 in Newark, Nottinghamshire.
