Bronze ring and casts of slate needles from the Iron Age cemetery at Harlyn Bay, St Merryn, Cornwall. 1900
Bronze ring and casts of slate needles found in 1900 at the prehistoric Iron Age cemetery excavated between 1900 and 1906 at Harlyn Bay. When digging foundations for a new house to be built, Mr Reddie Mallett made an important archaeological discovery by finding a cist containing human remains. Excavations over the next 6 years found Harlyn Bay to be the largest Iron Age burial site in Cornwall. Bronze Age barrows had been discovered in 1864, on the west side of the bay, near the cliff edge, by a labourer digging a pond on land owned by Mr Hellyar. Photographer: Unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bronze ring and casts of slate needles, which were unearthed from the Iron Age cemetery at Harlyn Bay in St Merryn, Cornwall. The discovery took place in 1900 when Mr Reddie Mallett stumbled upon a cist containing human remains while excavating foundations for a new house. Little did he know that this chance finding would lead to an extraordinary archaeological revelation. Over the course of six years, extensive excavations were conducted at Harlyn Bay, ultimately revealing it to be the largest Iron Age burial site in all of Cornwall. This significant find shed light on the ancient history and burial practices of this region during prehistoric times. Interestingly, prior to these discoveries, Bronze Age barrows had already been uncovered in 1864 by a labourer digging a pond near the cliff edge on land owned by Mr Hellyar. These earlier findings hinted at the rich historical heritage buried beneath the surface of Harlyn Bay. The photographer behind this remarkable image remains unknown but has managed to capture not only these precious artifacts but also their inherent beauty and historical significance. This photograph serves as a testament to our continuous fascination with archaeology and its ability to transport us back through time, allowing us glimpses into civilizations long past.
