Runic Objects on Display at West Stow

In 1978, a metal detecorist found an ancient gold plaque at Staunch Meadow, Brandon. This led to excavations of the site between 1980 and 1988 and it was established as the site of an important middle Saxon settlement dating to the 7^th-9^th century AD. During the excavations several runic objects and writing implements were recovered which demonstrate the high status and monastic importance of the settlement. Now, as a result of funding under this project, these objects are now on display until the 17th of December at West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village.
