Post by: celticspikey on July 31, 2015, 08:57:42 PM
Hi guys my last post this weekend I promise ;D some of you may remember this from last year...at first I thought it was a pommel or torc end ??? I thought it was Celtic, any ways it has now been Identified  as a Yoke for an (animal) the end of. It is Irish and comes under harness fitting of late Iron Age 300 BC - 100 AD. Proof of trade going on in this field, quite rare and the museum has asked for it to be donated !! ;) they would like me to find the rest of the bronze Yoke :o :o

Rather that than your posey ring Paul and we all know how generous you are.  I'm sure if the rest of it was there you'd already have found it.  ;D

yes Val, I would have thought if it was there it would be destroyed by the ploughing it does appear it was delicate in its construction especially for live stock !!!
