Archaeologists have been stunned to discover two of the rarest Iron Age objects in the same excavation.

The team from Pre-Construct Archaeology was working on a building site a few miles from Thetford, Norfolk, when they came across the hoard last year.

At its heart was the most complete battle trumpet, or carnyx, ever found in Europe - and the first-ever boar's head flag standard to be found in Britain.

Senior project officer Gary Trimble told BBC Two's Digging for Britain, carnyces "are extraordinarily rare... a boar standard, that's even rarer".

Conservator Jonathan Carr said the Thetford find was made "from extremely thin sheets of metal which have become extremely brittle after 2,000 years in the ground".
