23 sherds including 3 Iron Age sherds, most of the rest are BBW sherds from the Roman periods, one a rim from a BBW flanged bowl. Also a fragment of Late Roman colour coat vessel. Not thought to relate to the hoard, no evidence of contact with the coins. None join, probably settlement debris.

In fact the coins had been handed in to the Russell-Cotes Museum, Bournemouth, in October 1980, and were said to have been found at a depth of c.75 cm "buried beneath a flat stone" (BMHF). There are persistent suggestions in the published and unpublished reports of the find that a) it was much larger than the declared portion, and b) it was found somewhere other than the given location.

De Jersey (2015) notes: "One hundred and sixty staters were found within a "restricted area" of a single field, near a fording point across the River Brit (BMHF; TAR 2003, 151 no. 352 (2003 T242)). The coins are nominally described as base silver, although some might more accurately be described as bronze. Many are in poor condition, and coupled with the relatively poor record photographs, it is likely that there may be more variation within the group that is first apparent. There are for example certainly some coins with the "two-branched" representation of the hair on the obverse (c…

De Jersey (2015) writes: "A scattered hoard of Durotrigan coinage, mostly rather poorly recorded, recovered over several years. Haselgrove (1989, 49) noted that "There may be additional coins from here", and three possible candidates in the CCI are listed below. The alloy of some of the Durotrigan material is uncertain and thus the division into silver and bronze staters should be treated with some caution."

The earliest discoveries seem to be those reported by Keen (1987, 124), made by Mr and Mrs House in October 1986: five silver staters, one silver quarter stater and eleven struck bronze staters, all of the Durotriges.
