Summary

Metal-detecting at this location in 2022 recovered a small medieval coin hoard of three coins of similar date found in close proximity. These coins were probably lost or deposited in the early 1280s.

Protected Status/Designation

  • None recorded

September 2022. Metal-detecting. [1].
Found very close together in a 6 foot [1.8m] diameter area:
Medieval coin hoard of 3 silver coins - all halfpennies of Edward I. The close proximity of these coins and the fact they all date to the early 1280s makes it likely they represent a 'purse loss' from around this time. Two were minted in Ireland, suggesting their owner had recently come from there (or received money from someone who had).
Information from PAS import.
These coins were returned to the finder after being disclaimed as Treasure (Ref: 2022 T981).
P. Watkins (HES), 14 April 2024.
