Early Anglo-Saxon finds from Horncastle include a silver boar's head (from a helmet?) & a gold+garnet insect pendant:pic.twitter.com/pLSZhuZyQM
Good discussions of both of these interesting finds here http://www.lincstothepast.com/Untitled/1001968.record?ImageId=478781&pt=S … & here http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/506705 …
The location on Google Maps: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.2085397,-0.1177153,477m/data=!3m1!1e3 … Horncastle also has OE name that Cameron considers translates the RB one, of course :)

Interesting historical event when a vehicle for exchange & trade becomes a fashion accessory.
Intriguing isn't it! And like some of the Byzantine examples I shared a little back, clearly intended to display the imperial portrait :)
Re Horncastle, those offset walls on E & W sides must have made for odd gate setup?
Indeed! Think Field & Hurst discuss in LHA 18 (1983) iirc :)
You're right! They say it's apprantly something called a "clavicula" type gate, which I've never heard of. Be interesting to model one.pic.twitter.com/7UgBNmQeTE
Seen in Flavian period camps in Scotland
I can't visualise one ( or what advantages it offers building like that )
