THE Melsonby hoard is a remarkable collection of more than 800 Iron Age metal artefacts, which was found in a field near Melsonby, North Yorkshire, in December 2021.
Its discovery represents a triumph of cross-sector collaboration in British archaeology. This extraordinary find excavated from Yorkshire soil is not just a collection of ancient objects, but signals a need for a significant revision of how we understand Iron Age Britain.
