EVIDENCE of a Bronze Age settlement in Wirral has gone on display at the Museum of Liverpool.

A team of archaeologists from the museum discovered the evidence in Bromborough during a dig in 2016.

They were given permission by landowners of a new housing village to lead an excavation before any works started on the build. 

During the dig they unearthed tales of historic human activity in the area and re-discovered items previously lost.

Their finds suggested there was a Neolithic / Bronze Age settlement around 6,000 years ago in the area. 

An amazing and rare fragment of Anglo-Saxon sculpture was also re-discovered.

The Museum of Liverpool now has all the finds from the dig on display for their free archaelogical exhibition. 

They will be available to view until August 2017.
