Robertson 2000, 327 no. 1353:
""Between November 1982 and February 1983, Mr. D. Rippingale found fifty-one Roman coins in the shallow topsoil of an area about 3 m. square on the steep slope adjoining the east side of the ramparts of Dinorben, a little to the north of the north of the east corner [sic].
"
The 51 coins were 2 ant. and 49 AE, of the period AD 348-55.
"Probably, therefore, the two Dinorben radiates did not belong to what one may take as a scattered hoard."
