Full Description

Some of the finds were intially casual, made by the owner who later made excavations in the garden (centred at TR 05044692) and a report on them. This report came to the notice of Mr Bradshaw lately. The pottery and iron objects are temporarily with Mr Bradshaw, the two coins are with the Wye Historical Society. The present occupiers of No.29 Church Field Way could offer no information. (2)
