A treasure hoard dating back to the late Bronze Age has been unearthed in Mickleham.

The ancient stash, which includes two axe heads and the end of a sword scabbard, was discovered at Norbury Park on December 9 2003, but only came to light at an inquest last week.

The find, which was made by metal detectionist, Martin Hay, from Horley, was uncovered on land belonging to Surrey County Council.

At the inquest opened by Surrey coroner Michael Burgess in Woking last Thursday, the court heard how the treasures were submitted to Surrey finds liaison officer, David Williams, who took them to the British Museum.

Mr Burgess explained: "This was a small hoard of three complete bronze objects."

He went on to determine that the prehistoric artefacts of "agricultural origin" were found approximately 400 metres from the west bank of the River Mole.

~Ok this is a slight lie. This major centre of Neolithic ritual / settlement activity isn't here any more. It had two concentric rings about 20m apart and was 180m in diameter. I include it because of its current guise – Junction 13 on the M25 at Staines, a curious circular echo of its former self. Kind of depressing but strangely interesting. it makes me think of lovely Mayburgh henge and its narrow escape from the motorway there.

This article, if you can find it, will no doubt have all the details:
