Object type: HOARD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lancashire

Although they have somewhat corroded surfaces and a range of other minor damage, all are essentially complete objects. Their original outlines can be extrapolated with some confidence, thus allowing classification according to the latest scheme for sou…
