It is a wooden wheel that probably ever was one car for two people which was pulled by a horse. The wheel has a diameter of one meter and is constructed to estimate in the year 1100 BC, reports BBC News . It is the oldest copy of timber ever found in Britain.
Archaeologists stumbled upon the wheel at the excavation of a Bronze Age farming village in the county of Cambridgeshire. The bones and pieces of wood are preserved in the mud of a river.
The wheel was found near a wooden floor of one of the houses. Presumably the wheel is there then brought in for repair. Also was found a skeleton of a horse on the site. “My feeling is that a parked car here three thousand years ago, a piece of land, with one missing wheel,” said lead researcher Mark Knight the discovery in the British newspaper The Guardian .

During the British project ‘Must Farm’ have been excavated several primitive farms and skeletons of people and animals. In the Netherlands, however, are much older than this version wheels found in England. Thus unearthed wooden copies in the peat bogs of Drenthe and Friesland who probably made around 2600 BC
