The Wetwang chariot and Celtic warfare

In 2001 in northern England, a grave was discovered of someone who must have been very important. Inside the grave, alongside the bones, were the remains of an Iron Age chariot. All that remained of the chariot were its metal parts and highly decorated bronze fittings, some inlaid with coral. The grave therefore suggests that chariots were important in Celtic warfare in Britain during the Iron Age. When the Romans came to Britain for the first time in the 1st century BCE, they noted that the Celts used chariots.
