An ancient site has been named one of the 20 most important archaeological finds in the last 20 years.

Objects found in two graves, villa and bathhouse uncovered at Turners Hall Farm, Wheathampsted, date back to Roman times and have now made the Telegraph’s list.

Many of the objects, of which there are around 150, are now on display at the St Albans Museum at Verulamium.

Richard Shwe, the Council’s Head of Commercial and Development, said: “The appearance of the Turners Hall Farm site on this list is recognition of its national importance.

“Discoveries like this enable archaeologists and historians to gain a greater insight into the lives of our ancestors and piece together the story of Britain’s development.”

Objects include household objects, bronze jugs, glassware and silverware which showed the villa’s owners had collected examples of the best goods available in the Roman world.

The items also show the wealth and status of their owners, which is believed to be considerable.

Six Celtic, Roman, Medieval and early modern archaeology experts chose those shortlisted, with readers called upon to vote for the most significant of the group.
