The remains of an Iron Age man buried on his shield has been found at a cemetery in Yorkshire, England.

“We are continuing to investigate the site and will work hand in hand with David Wilson Homes to preserve these historical discoveries so that they can be used to shed some light on the history of the area for generations to come.”
