An Iron Age skeleton and jewellery have been found, by a metal detectorist, near Portesham in Dorset. There were fourteen items with the skeleton, including a coin, mirror and two brooches. The items were declared treasure at a 'treasure inquest', and were discovered on April 27th. last year; they are believed to date from between 15BC and AD 50-60, and found in a 'Durotrigian type grave'.
More can be read in the Dorset Echo, of today's date.
