Wheels from the chariot burial at Wetwang
Iron Age, around 300 BC
East Yorkshire, England
The wheels of the vehicle excavated at Wetwang were made of
wood, thought to have been ash. Each wheel probably had twelve
spokes. However, after 2,300 years in the ground, all that has
survived are the tyres and nave bands.
