26.2.1946 Basil Brown met (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s) who had been working on the aerodrome construction in the 1930s and was told that they had found a large quantity of charcoal, Roman pottery and one coin which broke during cleaning. The site was near two isolated cottages which were being demolished. 14.12.1946. Basil Brown was shown a Roman ring amongst the new additions at Moyses Hall Museum, which was either bronze or brass and thought to be part of an object, not a finger ring. A sketch of the ring shows a lump on it which is not clearly describable and which is, presumably, still held by Moyses Hall Museum (S1).
