Excellent, fascinating object that deserves to be better known for its stories. I literally live just round the corner from find spot but was barely aware of it.
I think the county site record may be a bit off, see map from Reb’s great feature in the new British Archaeology 1/2
Watch free video of talk by Dr Rebecca Ellis (@MattockInHand) about the Marlborough Bucket - masterpiece of 1st century BC art posing questions about design, politics and identity at time of overwhelming change across Europe. @pittsmike @LtrPrehistFinds
