Full Description
Large metalwork scatter apparently confined to this field found metal detecting (S1). (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s) The few pottery sherds collected include one Samian sherd and one mortarium rim. Coins (over 100) range from Antoninus Pius (AD 138-161) to a silver Honorius (AD 393-423). A figurine bust, fairly corroded, probably of Minerva, helmeted. Few brooches - one Colchester, two Colchester derivatives. Two spoons, one of them the dolphin shaped handle of a folding type. Fragment of a buckle, probably Hawkes & Dunning Type IA with dolphin decoration. Possible bracelet fragment, plain with twisted wire. Double sided object one side a cow's head, linked by a bar to a curved piece - ?? handle - might be a vessel fitting? Occasional LMed items (S2).
1992: Further detected items include 75 coins (C3-C4), details in (S2), part of a bronze folding knife handle with openwork hare (the chasing dog is missing), and crossbow type brooch fragment (details & drawing in S2).
Also Med.
