Two hoards of bronze artefacts found by metal detectorists in Wales have officially been declared treasure.

The finds, including a sword blade fragment and socketed axes, are believed to be from the Late Bronze Age - 1000-800 BC. Fragments from seven socketed axes, a sword blade fragment, six casting-jets and two ingots were found by Wayne Williams when detecting in a field in Grosmont, Monmouthshire. "This hoard from Grosmont community is so interesting because it shows just how precious every piece of bronze was," said Monmouthshire councillor Lisa Dymock.
