Late Bronze Age village in Cambridgeshire, England, with a metal hoard that gives its name to the Wilburton bronze industry of southern England c 10th-8th centuries BC. It is distinguished by the replacement of tin bronze by a copper-lead-tin alloy, by the increased use of metal (founders' hoards have broken tools and scrap), and by tools such as the leaf-shaped slashing sword with slotted hilt, socketed spearheads, horse bits, and socketed axes.
