Robertson 2000, 398 no. 1601:
""A small coin hoard, found on a golf course at Fladbury, South Worcestershire, in 1935..I have recently found out about this discovery and have managed to borrow some of the coins from one of the finds [sic] and hope to be able to examine more of the hoard this summer. Dr. Richard Reece has identified these coins as 3 silver siliquae of Arcadius, Honorius and Valentinian II. There are also 25 copper coins of Constantine, Theodosius I and Valentinian. Presumably the hoard consisted of a mixture of silver and copper coins."
Letter, May 1985, from B. Watson, Evesham
"In 1935 earthmoving and landscaping of hole number four on Eveshan golf course, Fladbury, Worcestershire, revealed a number of Roman coins scattered throughout the topsoil. There was no sign of the coins having been [in] a pot or any other container. It is possible that there was Romano-British occupation within the vicinity as landscaping of hole four in 1922 revealed two vertical stone slabs resting on an undated brick or tile built structure (perhaps a wall foundation?). No Roman pottery was recovered, so it is uncertain whether or not these undated remains are part of a Romano-British settlement. Within the vicinity of the findspot no other Romano-British material has been discovered.
The number of coins discovered is not known as the finds were divided amongst the three men present. One of the finders has the following coins in his possession: three unclipped silver siliquae of Valentinian II, Arcadius and Honorius, and twenty five copper coins of Constantine, Theodosius I and Valentinian I. There are also three corroded fragments of copper coins..

House of Constantine 1
