Rare objects discovered in the Havering Hoard reveal fascinating insights into Bronze Age London


February 12, 2020

The Museum of London Docklands has for the first time revealed a closer look at the Havering Hoard ahead of the upcoming major exhibition, Havering Hoard: A Bronze Age Mystery.

Among the objects revealed are a pair of terret rings, a rare discovery as these are the first Bronze Age examples of their kind ever to be found in the UK. These objects are believed to have been used to prevent the reins from tangling on horse-drawn carts, giving us a fascinating insight into how people and goods may have travelled cross-country.
