Full Description
1990. Found during construction of Cloverfield site.
Silver trefoil brooch, see H.M. Geake's (NCM) description and drawing (S1) in file. Information from Valued History.
See finder's sketch plan (S2).
Note: The finder's record states that the find was made at location [1] which is clearly incorrect. A. Rogerson (NLA) suggested it came from site NHER 33933 as he did not think the Cloverfield estate extended to the river. However, Thetford town map (in file) and Thetford Museum confirm that it does, and finder's sketch map places it in the area of the grid reference.
A. Rogerson (NLA), 9 April 1999.
March 1993. Shown to Bury St Edmunds archaeology office (not necessarily date of finding).
Very fine 13th century buckle, see photograph (S3), drawing (S1), description in file.
Find given as 'Cloverfield building site near Green Lane'.
W. Milligan (NCM) has added location [2] but this is possibly only a guess. It could come from this site or perhaps NHER 33933.
E. Rose (NLA), 25 May 1999.
