Norfolk Museums Service purchased the Rudham Dirk, an exceptionally rare and internationally significant Middle Bronze Age artefact. Having remained buried for over 3,500 years, it was ploughed up in a farmer’s field in north Norfolk. It will now be placed on permanent display in the archaeology galleries of Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery.
