Experts are investigating the ceremonial burial site of four horses dating to the 1st century C.E. discovered recently in North Yorkshire, England.
The four horses were buried nose-to-tail in Nosterfield Quarry, near Ripon. "Ritual multi-burials of horses are rare, and a find of this nature helps us to know more about the Iron Age people who lived in this area 2,000 years ago," said archaeologist Mike Griffiths. |
