What Do We Know About the UK's Largest Bronze Age Find at Must Farm? A significant archaeological discovery was made in Must Farm, UK. This site is famous for being the location of the largest Bronze Age find in the country. An exhibition has now been set up in Peterborough to showcase the numerous findings from this extraordinary site.
