Helmet, Crosby Garrett 3
Helmet, Crosby Garrett 3 : Discovery and Restoration: The helmet and visor were found in May 2010 in pastureland on a farm owned by Eric Robinson at Crosby Garrett in Cumbria. The finder, an unnamed metal detectorist in his 20s from Peterlee, County Durham, had been detecting with his father in two adjacent fields for some years but had previously only discovered some Roman coins and other small artefacts. The findspot is situated not far from a Roman road. A number of earthworks are located nearby, suggesting the presence of a previously unrecorded ancient settlement. There was no known Roman garrison near the site of discovery, but the area was strategically placed on the route to the northern frontier of Roman Britain. TheRoman army would have been present in the area and would certainly have used the nearly road. It is expected that an archaeological examination of the findspot will be carried out in due course. The finder discovered the helmet and visor buried together some 25 cm (10 in) below the surface.
