Description
De Jersey (2015) writes: "Between 1990 and 1995 some twenty-two East Anglian silver units and a single Republican denarius were found in a field at North Creake... In May 1995 two detectorists found another sixteen coins within an area of 6 m x 6 m, which were declared Treasure in December 1995 ...it seems likely that all of the coins may have come from a single scattered hoard."
Notes
No list of pre 1995 finds in BM. This seems to incorporate record of 16 coins declared Treasure as "North-West Norfolk" in 1995 (hoard legacy no. 1480, now deleted): 16 silver Icenian units and 1 Republican denarius (103 BC). TTRC 1995-96, p. 17; NC 1997, 21.
