The giant Bronze Age ritual dagger found in a field in Norfolk
by Richard Moss, 7-03-18
It is 800 years older than the ancient city of Rome and is even older than the Pharaoh Tutankhaten, but this ceremonial Bronze Age dagger, which is thought to be about 3,500 years old, was found during ploughing in a Norfolk field in 2002.
Known as the Rudham Dirk, the near-unique Bronze Age treasure was used as a doorstop by the finder – a Norfolk farmer – until it was properly identified through the Portable Antiquities Scheme in 2013.
