Full Description
Before 1879. Ploughed up in field in parish.
Copper alloy statuette of Mars (British Museum says Jupiter).
R. R. Clarke.
(S1) 'lists as from the Fen Road, Denver' but this is not in the British Museum register and so a Late Saxon origin is dubious.
See (S2).
R. J. Rickett (NAU) 26 February 1990.
