Bramham Iron Age skeletons to go on display in Leedspublished at 14:28 British Summer Time 29 August 2017
Two Iron Age skeletons uncovered beside the A1 near Leeds are to go on display in the city for the first time.
The 2,000-year-old bones lay side by side under land near Bramham, said Leeds City Museum.
Once the location of a late Iron Age settlement, Wattle Syke was the resting place of a man, aged about 25 to 35, and a woman over 45.
They were found buried together in archaeological excavations during 2007 and 2008.
In all, a dozen skeletons are to be displayed. The other Yorkshire remains include a soldier discovered in a mass grave near the site of the Battle of Towton in 1461 during the Wars of the Roses.
Also part of the exhibition are the remains of a medieval female religious hermit from the Church of All Saints in Fishergate, York.
