I have examined 27 coins reported found in the Clitheroe area of Lancashire. All are official English silver coins, and will thus have a silver content of 92.5% fine metal – the sterling standard. A summary list of the coins follows (a more detailed catalogue is attached to this report).
1 groat and 1 penny of Edward III, 4th Coinage (1351-77); 3 pennies of the mid or late 14th century, details uncertain;
1 groat and 6 pennies of Henry V (1413-22); 9 groats; 3 halfgroats; 1 penny and 2 halfpennies of Henry VI, Annulet issue (1422-7)

Post-medieval coin hoard from Newton-with-Scales, Lancashire (2004T30)
I have examined a group of coins reported found at Newton with Scales in January 2004. The coins are all official English issues of the traditional sterling standard, i.e. 92/5% fine metal.The coins consist of three denominations: 11 groats (fourpences) of Mary and Elizabeth Tudor, and a sixpence and 7 threepences of Elizabeth, amounting to a sum with a face value of five shillings and fivepence, which would be something like £20-30 in modern terms.The coins would certainly have circulated together, and the lim…

Hoard of medieval silver coins dating between 1279 to 1283AD. The coins are hardly worn and cannot have been in circulation for very long suggesting the deposition date was not long after minting. They were all from the same findspot and therefore qualify as treasure under the provisions of the Treasure Act.

Note on discovery: all the small finds, except one coin, were found within a lead container (no. 198 below), at a depth of about 18 inches, while five of the larger, complete arm-rings were found underneath it. The objects are described in their uncleaned condition, in accordance with the terms of the Treasure Act 1996, and some of the details are currently obscured by adhering soil. After conservation, some of the weights may be slightly lighter, although there is unlikely to be any significant difference.

Hoard of two early Bronze Age copper alloy flat axes with similarities to the Aylesford tradition of the early Bronze Age, dating from c. 2050-1750BC.
Axe 1 - A cast copper-alloy flat axehead of the Early Bronze Age, dating to the period of 2050-1700 BC. Early Bronze Age bronze Developed (relatively late) flat axe, similar to Irish flat axes, and dating to the Willerby stage (i.e. 20th - 18th century BC) or later. It is possible that this axe is an Irish import (see examples in Harbison1969). The axe is near-complete sub-rectangular in plan but is heavily corroded with some perip…

Hoard of seven early Bronze Age copper alloy flat axes with similarities to the Migdale-Marnoch tradition of the early Bronze Age, dating from c. 2200-1900BC. All are of early types and surface analysis undertaken at the British Museum has shown all to be of unalloyed copper with (unquantified) traces of arsenic, silver and antimony. Although they have somewhat corroded surfaces and a range of other minor damage, all are essentially complete objects. Their original outlines can be extrapolated with some confidence, thus allowing classification according to the latest scheme for sou…

The group consists of three silver Roman Republican coins of a denomination known as denarii (sing. denarius).
The latest fully legible coin dates to many years before the establishment of Roman Britain. However, we know from larger coin hoard groups that Republican denarii, which had been produced over the previous two centuries, formed a substantial portion of the coin circulation throughout the first century AD. Thus these three coins cannot provide evidence on their own of Roman coins in Britain prior to the Roman annexation of AD 43.
