Yorkshire Iron Age site gives up its secrets: 2,500-year-old settlement under housing estate contains 75 burial mounds holding skeletons from as far back as 800BC
The 2,500-year-old settlement discovered in Pocklington, East Yorkshire could lead to the largest study of the time in decades. It contains more than 75 square barrows with skeletons of people from the Arras Culture, a group of people who lived in the region in the Middle Iron Age as far back as 800BC. The excavation at the site has already revealed objects including a sword, shield and ten spears.
