Replica Chiseldon cauldrons returning home


A REPLICA of a globally important iron age artefact from Chiseldon is to be made for display in the village. Funds for the project have come from an anymous donor.

The Chiseldon Cauldrons, found in a field on the village boundary in 2004, are thought to have been ritually buried following a feast marking a great event, possibly the marriage or death of a great leader.
