74 years ago today, on 12th 1948, Ray Williamson was ploughing a field on the Estate in & turned up these amazing - the first of many finds which uncovered at the site over the next 50 years.

Tubular torcs like these are incredible - c.200mm in diameter & made of sheet only 0.1mm thick, they each only c.110g (weight of a lemon or a small bar of galaxy ).
