The Milton Keynes Hoard is a hoard of Bronze Age gold found in September 2000 in a field at Monkston Park in Milton Keynes, England.[1] The hoard consisted of two torcs, three bracelets, and a fragment of bronze rod contained in a pottery vessel.[2] The inclusion of pottery in the find enabled it to be dated to around 1150–800 BC.[1]
Weighing in at 2.020 kg (4.45 lb), the hoard was described by the British Museum as "one of the biggest concentrations of Bronze Age gold known from Great Britain" and "important for providing a social and economic picture for the period".[1] The hoard was valued at £290,000 and is now in the British Museum.[3][a]
Several other antiquities, including Romano-British hoards, have been found within a 10–12 miles (16–19 km) radius of the centre of Milton Keynes.
