Notes:
The Denarius of Galba, was found 200m away in the next field and is probably part of this hoard. It can be found at LEIC-719243
The Denarius of Severus is unlikely to be associated with a hoard with Republican and first century coins such as this.
Current location of find: to be loaned to the local museum by landowner
Subsequent action after recording: Returned to landowner after being disclaimed as Treasure
