A talk presented by Peter Busby, Cotswold Archaeology

Following the finding of the two Roman cavalry swords in March 2023, their subsequent analysis, conservation and results of the 2025 archaeological evaluation reveal more about where and why they might have been buried.

This talk is part of an annual day of talks sharing recent investigations in Worcestershire.
