Re: A bronze age hoard from Devon
The FLO reckoned it was part of a BA burial and they were grave goods! They did a survey and an archeological dig on the site but only found a stone age artefact! Nothing else was found, no burial or old bones. I reckon it was most probably a travelling founders hoard??
