Slate Knife and bronze rings from the Iron Age cemetery at Harlyn Bay, St Merryn, Cornwall. 1900
A well shaped slate knife and bronze rings 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 well-preserved slate knife and a collection of intricate bronze rings, both originating from the Iron Age cemetery at Harlyn Bay in St Merryn, Cornwall. The discovery of these remarkable artifacts was made in 1900 during an excavation that lasted until 1906. The story behind this archaeological find is equally fascinating. It all began when Mr Reddie Mallett stumbled upon a cist containing human remains while digging foundations for a new house. Little did he know that his chance encounter would lead to the unearthing of the largest Iron Age burial site in Cornwall. Over the next six years, dedicated excavations revealed the rich history buried beneath Harlyn Bay's surface. Prior to this significant discovery, Bronze Age barrows had been found nearby in 1864 by a labourer working on land owned by Mr Hellyar. This photograph not only captures the beauty and craftsmanship of these ancient objects but also serves as a reminder of our connection to those who lived centuries before us. Through archaeology and careful exploration, we can gain insights into their lives and honor their memory. Photographer: Unknown
