The well-preserved and ornately decorated Bronze Age artifacts were found in a deep pit near the remains of a house in the hillfort. Items recovered include a linch pin, used to prevent a wheel from sliding off the axle upon which it was riding, rings, strap junctions, and a barrel-shaped harness fitting. The researchers said that the items are recognisable as a matching set of bronze fittings from a Celtic chariot dating back to the 2nd or 3rd century BC.
