- Description
- A gold bead of sheet metal from the late Bronze Age, found at Coberley in 2011. Gold in this period was very rare and would have demonstrated the wealth and prestige of the owner. Gold is not native to the Cotswold region and this gold probably came from Cornwall or South Wales, demonstrating the extent of the trade going on in this area in the Bronze Age.
