A BRACELET unearthed in a Warburton field has been identified as a rare piece of ancient Roman jewellery.
Amateur prospector James Balme came across the unusual find as he scoured the recently harvested land on the outskirts of the village.
The serpent shaped silver bangle was sticking out of the ground and with the knowledge procured through a long held interest in metal detecting and archaeology, James knew instantly he had found something of historical value.

And his hunch was confirmed by coroner John Pollard as he declared the item to be treasure at an inquest held last Thursday.
