Fragment of Samian ware depicitng a hare and a cupid
🌿 Happy Easter! 🐇
Hares roamed #IronAge Britain—Caesar noted that eating them was taboo. Rabbits, from Iberia, were farmed by Romans but stayed rare in Britain until medieval times. The Easter Bunny appears much later, linking hares to spring & eggs.

Descent to the Iron Age

Photograph taken on the steps down towards the opening of the 30m tunnel, Halliggye Fogou, in the depths of Cornwall. It's from C5th BC and was used for storage or religious ritual. Well worth a visit but one of the creepiest Iron Age places I've visited. Aiming to go back! Image looks down towards the pitch black rectangular wall entrance to a tunnel. The sides are stone and covered in green moss. The floor is deep brown dirt. Over the top, shielding the opening are well established green ferns of various types.

#FindsFriday a late #Bronzeage #sword from Kostryzyn with a very interesting crown-like ribbon around the hilt. I know this crown shaped pattern from early #ironage neckrings in Denmagk, but this sword is much earlier.

The valley, shrouded in mist, leads from a tiny cove up to the distant village of Kilkhampton - where you can just see the church tower rising above the mist. The valley contains remains of Iron Age settlements, an Iron Age fort, a Roman fort, and on the beach, WWII tank defences. In the 17th-19th Century the valley was a major smuggling route with just a narrow path leading from the village to the cove.

Map of eastern North Yorkshire, showing the location where the hoards were found in relation to the nearby oppidum at Stanwick.
The oppidum (or possibly huge hillfort) of Stanwick was a major #IronAge centre of the Brigantes.
One of Britain's largest metalwork deposits was found nearby, indicating wealth comparable to mainland European societies.
