Full Description
Hoard: iron objects and bronze head, found ploughing in 1954 (S1,S8,S9). Iron agricultural implements: axes, hammers, chisels, sickles, two large (weaving) combs.
Small bronze head, curled hair and beard. Traces of iron rivets; holes around base and back of neck - ? Hadrian (S2).
Hoard late 3rd or 4th century according to Manning (Brittania 3, 1972), bronze head therefore probably not associated.
