Bronze ring from excavation of Iron Age cemetery at Harlyn Bay, St Merryn, Cornwall. 1900-1906
A bronze ring from the Iron Age cemetery in Harlyn Bay, excavated between 1900 and 1906. When digging foundations for a new house to be built, Mr Reddie Mallett had 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 remarkable bronze ring, unearthed during the excavation of an Iron Age cemetery at Harlyn Bay in St Merryn, Cornwall. Dating back to the years between 1900 and 1906, this discovery holds immense historical significance. The story behind its unearthing is equally fascinating. During the construction of a new house, Mr Reddie Mallett stumbled upon a cist containing human remains, leading to the realization that something extraordinary lay beneath the surface. Over the course of six years, extensive excavations took place at Harlyn Bay, ultimately revealing it as one of Cornwall's largest Iron Age burial sites. Interestingly enough, this area had already witnessed archaeological marvels in earlier times. In 1864, while digging a pond on land owned by Mr Hellyar near the cliff edge on the bay's west side, a laborer discovered Bronze Age barrows. These findings further attest to Harlyn Bay's rich historical tapestry. The photographer responsible for capturing this image remains unknown; however their work has immortalized this exquisite piece of Cornish history forevermore. This photograph serves as both an educational tool and an awe-inspiring testament to our ancestors' ingenuity and craftsmanship
