Coin hoard of silver denarii found scattered over circa 80 yards in ploughsoil; area intensively searched by finders (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s) and rechecked after ploughing.

Farmer suggested that coins had been redeposited after levelling of sandhills into a low peaty area in circa 1964-1965; mixed sandy soil visible with sand ridge on N side. Finders state that coin distribution extended up to sand ridge. Field has been under grass for much of the time since 1965ish. Coins examined by G Pollard, Fitzwilliam Museum.
