Two brothers made a historic discovery while walking on the banks of a Welsh estuary at low tide. What looked like a piece of driftwood wedged into a sand bank turned out to be the perfectly preserved horn of a Bronze Age auroch, the ancestor of modern-day cattle.

A protruding object caught the eyes of Martin and Richard Morgan, fourth generation lave net fishermen, as they were inspecting an area near the Severn Estuary off the coast of Sudbrook, South East Wales, on May 26.
