Military veterans taking part in an archaeological dig at an Anglo-Saxon burial site have uncovered the “richest grave found this year”, reports the BBC
The dig on the Salisbury Plain Training Area has unearthed a large bone, an antler comb and some iron shears.
“The items, from the same burial site, are estimated to be 1,400 years old.
