Poorly Located Monument record MNL 906 - Roman artefact scatter, including a portion of a concave mirror and a bronze handle

`Lying on the clay under 6 feet of vegetable mould (peat) in another fen near Mildenhall were found a portion of a concave mirror, the handle of bronze 3 in. long, and near it a bronze hand 2 and a half in. long, the fingers extended, evidently part of a figure which was not found; two blue & white glass beads, and a button of transparent light green glass three-quarters in(ch) in diameter. At the same time and place were found coins of Hadrian (AD 117-138), Vespesian (AD 69-79), and Constantine I (AD 307-37)' (S1)(R1)(S2)(S3).
The reference to clay under peat suggests a findspot either deep in Mildenhall Fen or outside Mildenhall parish as the known Rom sites on the Mildenhall fen edges all lie on a sand subsoil.
