Discovered at Irthlingborough and meticulously examined by the Ancient Monuments Laboratory, this artifact offers a glimpse into an era long past. Crafted in the Early Bronze Age Conygar Hill style, this barbed and tanged arrowhead is a testament to the ingenuity and skill of our ancestors.
The intricate design of this weapon reflects both its functionality and aesthetic appeal.

This photograph serves as a reminder that our present is built upon countless layers of human achievement throughout history. It encourages us to reflect on how far we have come while honoring those who came before us.
