Bronze Age relics have returned home to the North York Moors, writes Camilla James.

The 4,000-year-old collection, including ceramics, jet, tools and part of a scabbard, was found by local history enthusiasts, William Lamplough, his son David, and John ‘Ronnie’ Lidster in the surrounding countryside after the Second World War.

The archive was donated to the Yorkshire Museum two years ago and much of it will now be displayed in the Forestry Commission’s Dalby Forest Visitor Centre.

Natalie McCaul, curator of archaeology at the Yorkshire Museum, said: “Since being donated we have been carefully cataloguing, photographing and researching the artefacts.”

The exhibition will run until May 2014. yorkpress.co.uk
