Found in a school yard, the grisly remains of an Iron Age horse and human bones



Ancient Animal Sacrifices


An Iron Age burial site containing the skeletons of children and sacrificed animals has been unearthed by archaeologists.
The remains – which include tributes to a long-forgotten god – were buried in deep pits by Ancient Britons more than 2,000 years ago.
They were discovered in London during the construction of a new school and are one of the most important Iron Age finds in the capital for years, shedding light on a time when Britain was on the verge of Roman rule.
