Summary

Three Bronze Age gold arm rings (torcs) were discovered by metal detectorists at a site in Blackford, north of Carlisle, where a new National Grid electricity substation could be built. Archaeologists have described the find as "spectacular." Campaigners argue the discovery should halt plans for the substation development at the site.
