Full Description
Third brass of Magnentius (AD 350-353), found by Eb (Gathercole or Terrington?)(S1)(S2)(S3).
Phillips (S3) records `coin Lakenheath, cemetery: (inf GB)', which clearly relates to this coin recorded by Grace Briscoe. This appears to have been mistakenly taken to represent a coin and Rom cemetery by OS (S2), but there is no evidence to support a Rom cemetery (the site adjoins a modern cemetery).
