The Harper Road burial is a high status, Iron Age woman who is buried with grave goods which reflect Roman elements that were embedded within Iron Age society. The burial includes a flagon, samian plates from Gaul, a bronze mirror from Italy and a bronze torc from Britain. The choice of these objects reflect levels of meaning and significance to the objects beyond their primary function.
