Fragments of copper alloy unearthed at one of Britain 's most important archaeology sites revealed to be parts of a rare Iron Age helmet.

The discovery was made by the British Museum during a 15-year project analysing 14 hoards of gold, silver and bronze torcs excavated at Snettisham , Norfolk , between 1948 and the 1990s .

The helmet has yet to go on display, but conservationists are working on it.

Dr Farley said: "To us it seems really weird to put valuable stuff in the ground unless you are trying to hide it" The science suggested they were in circulation for decades beforehand and many showed signs of repair, with one visibly mended with an organic twine, before they were interred.

But there is another insight related to the introduction of coinage in the late part of the last century BC .
