Probably the most famous item from the hoard is the Great Torc from Snettisham, which is now held by the British Museum.

[3] One hypothesis suggests the deliberate destruction of valuable items was a form of votive offering.

[4] The hoard was ranked as number 4 in the list of British archaeological finds selected by experts at the British Museum for the 2003 BBC Television documentary, Our Top Ten Treasures, presented by Adam Hart-Davis.

[5] In 1985 there was also a find of Romano-British jewellery and raw materials buried in a clay pot in AD 155, the Snettisham Jeweller's Hoard.

Though it has no direct connection with the nearby Iron Age finds, it may be evidence of a long tradition of gold- and silver-working in the area.
