A rather odd sibling for the Newark torc and the Netherurd terminal: Torc H7 from Snettisham.

This is *such* an important find & will form significant collection w/ Leekfrith Iron Age torcs & Staffs AS hoard gold as examples of gold through time.
But we really REALLY shouldn't be held ransom by finders & landowners for such pieces...
