Four Iron Age gold torcs were discovered in a field by metal detectorists during December 2016 at Leekfrith, North Staffordshire. The find consists of three neck torcs and a bracelet. They were located in close proximity to each other and are believed to be the oldest Iron Age gold jewellery found in Britain.
Teresa Gilmore is the Finds Liaison Officer (East Staffordshire and North West Midlands) for the Portable Antiquities Scheme/ Birmingham Museum Trust.
