COIN HOARD

Eleven sterling long cross pennies of Edward I and II. These were found in a very small area and undoubtedly represent the contents (or, more likely, part of the contents) of a buried hoard or a lost purse dispersed in the ploughsoil at some point in the past.

Date: The latest coin is a class 11 penny of Edward II dated to c.1310-14. This has some wear but not very much; it seems that a date of loss or deposition at some point in the 1320s is reasonable.

Groups of two or more precious metal coins lost or deposited more than 300 years ago constitute a case of Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. This group fulfils these criteria and thus represents a case of Treasure.
