Eight hundred items, a staggering sight,
Cauldrons, harnesses, and spears, shining bright.

A show of power, and wealth, beyond compare.

Demonstrates the elites, of northern Britain, were in store.

Four wheel wagons, and two wheel chariots, too,
A network of elites, across Britain, and Europe, they knew.

A story of wealth, and power, in the Iron Age shade.
