Reports of ancient metal finds in upper Swaledale have generally appeared only in obscure academic journals or long-since out-of-print local history books. I have researched and updated the stories of some of the most significant finds, and written them up for this web site. Here are links to the individual stories:
Fremington’s Bronze Age axe-heads
Grinton Roman Coin Hoard
Lost Roman lead pigs
Stolen Roman horse tack
