EMBARGOED TO 1600 WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 10 Undated handout photo issued by the Pathways to Ancient Britain Project of a fragment of iron pyrite discovered at Barnham, Suffolk, in 2017. The earliest known evidence of fire-making by humans has been discovered in the UK and dates back more than 400,000 years, research suggests. Issue date: Wednesday December 10, 2025. PA Photo. The find, at a disused clay pit near Barnham, Suffolk, between Thetford and Bury St Edmunds, indicates humans were making fire 350,000 years earlier than previously known.
