In 2020, a remarkable discovery was made on the uplands near Turton: a delicate gold armlet dating back around 4,000 years to the early Bronze Age (c.2100–1900 BC). The object, now known as the Turton Armlet, is one of only a handful of prehistoric gold artefacts ever found in Lancashire, making it a find of considerable archaeological importance.
