status: Published 
A dispersed Iron Age coin hoard consisting of six gold staters found close together. The coins are all of Rudd's Verica Warrior Rex type (ABC 1190, VA 500-1, BMC 1146-58) issued under Verica (AD c.10-40) of the Southern British Iron Age and associated with the tribes known as the Regini and Atrebates.
Five of the coins were discovered within 6 to 14 foot of each other, the sixth being an outlier slightly further away. All coins were 2" - 4" deep in a previously cultivated field. The finder cannot remember which coin was from which findspot.
