Archaeologists say they’ve discovered a wheel that is nearly 3,000 years old in the United Kingdom—the oldest wheel from the Bronze age that is still intact in the U.K.

The artifact was discovered at Must Farm in Cambridgeshire, known as the “British Pompeii,” according to the BBC.

The wheel still contains its hub and dates back to between 1,100 B.C. and 800 B.C. It’s around 3 feet in diameter.
