Full Description
`Found here, and now in the BM, are ...', two circular bronze brooches (one bought in 1871), four pewter plates, `a number of fragments, hinges, an adze- head, bill-hooks, a padlock, the handle of a bucket, a knife etc, presented by Mr Walter K Foster, FSA, in 1882'. Also `a small blackish drab vase & a large vase of coarse blackish-brown hand-made ware, ornamented with a broad band of incised cross lines, making a diamond pattern, the rim flat, with three ribs' (S1).
Fox mentions (and ?marks on his map IV) pewter vessels from Lakenheath, presumably those cited above. Hoard? An `Iron Mattock' in the BM (82.2-6.1) is probably one of above (S3)(R1)
Manning suggests the collection of iron work presented to the BM in 1882 forms a small hoard (similar to Worlington 004) and consists of `mainly tools, hinges and the like' (S4).
