The Rudham Dirk

Norfolk Museums Service purchased the Rudham Dirk, an exceptionally rare and internationally significant Middle Bronze Age artefact. Having remained buried for over 3,500 years, it was ploughed up in a farmer’s field in north Norfolk. It will now be placed on permanent display in the archaeology galleries of Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery.
