Notes:

Finds recorded under 2012 T264:

YORYM-554033, FAKL-A5EDD5, FAKL-A63087, FAKL-A60695, FAKL-A63D68, FAKL-A64B21, FAKL-A66501, FAKL-A5D152

These objects were reported as potential addenda items to Treasure case 2011 T591, within which a silver bracteate was reported. It was concluded in this original case that only the silver bracteate could be defined as Treasure under the Treasure Act 1996, as the other reported objects could not be proven to have been in association, as it is likely that more than one burial had been disturbed by the plough. As such the same argument must be extended to these further objects (2012 T264); association with the silver bracteate, reported as 2011 T591, cannot be securely ascertained and it is recommended that these objects listed above fall outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
