Adam Gwilt of Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum of Wales will summarise the main findings concerning the discovery of a unique Iron Age chariot burial in Pembrokeshire in 2018, now the subject of a major ongoing heritage partnership in Wales. Starting with the find of a lifetime made by metal-detectorist Mike Smith and reported as a treasure find, archaeological surveys and excavations in 2018 and 2019 involved the discovery of a previously unknown Iron Age fort, the complete excavation of a chariot burial and the careful and successful conservation lifting of the surviving chariot fittings and grave goods for the national collection. The talk will touch upon some of the research questions and challenges now being asked and addressed by the project, while illustrating how the project approach is enabling wider volunteer and community engagements and participation. The speaker will outline current plans towards realising the final publication and public presentations of this exceptional find.
