Newbridge chariot

The remains of an Iron Age chariot burial were found near the Bronze Age burial mound at Huly Hill, Newbridge in Scotland, 14 km west of Edinburgh city centre, in advance of development at the Edinburgh Interchange.

The Newbridge chariot was buried intact, a method consistent with the burial practices of Continental Europe rather than Scotland.

The excavation of the Newbridge chariot burial was carried out by a team from Headland Archaeology and conservators from the National Museum of Scotland.

The Newbridge example was buried intact in a similar manner to burials in mainland Europe.

Chariot construction techniques indicate links with the building traditions of both Yorkshire and Continental Europe.
