This solid gold bangle was discovered at Baumber, near Horncastle in 1997.

It is the largest example of its type from Lincolnshire. It was made in the later Bronze Age, between c.900 and c.700BC, and may not actually ever have been completed.

Some hammer marks are still visible, which would undoubtedly have been polished out on a finished item.

The bangle has simple terminals and no other decoration.

The beautiful, sinuous lines of a Bronze Age sword are unmistakable.

Although fragments of Bronze Age swords are not uncommon, complete swords are still rare finds.

This sword, from Billinghay, was found in 1852.

It belongs to a series of swords known as the 'Ewart Park' type, dating to the late Bronze Age, c.950-800BC.

"The Bronze Age bowl barrow known as Grim's Mound stands as a substantial, well preserved and accessible earthwork which will retain valuable archaeological deposits, including human remains, beneath the mound and within the fills of the ditch"

The picture depicts six round barrows of the Bronze Age cemetery at Bully Hills (TF330826). A seventh barrow lies some distance away from this group.

All are in a NE to SW line with one of the barrows clearly larger than the others - 60ft (18m) diameter and 10ft (3m) high.

This barrow seems to have been excavated or at least disturbed in the past, hence the central dip.
