Bronze Age gold bracelet, South of Blue Gate Farm (EHER 2502)
Please read our guidance about the use of Essex Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A bracelet consisting of three strands of twisted gold was found on the tooth of a harrow by Mr. Alan Chilvers of Poplar Hall Bungalow, Great Bromley. South of Blue Gate Farm Cropmarks have been recorded, and two Bronze Age objects discovered, in the same field, which suggests a possible Bronze Age date, but the bracelet could equally well be later.
