A small group of bronze staters donated to Somerset County Museum in 1992 (Somerset Archaeology and Natural History 136 (1992), 208). The coins were found following an archaeological watching brief on the Bowden Reservoir Link Pipeline, which had revealed three ditches and one pit containing a few Iron Age and Roman sherds (Somerset HER 55106). It was suggested that this may have been a settlement associated with earthworks about 300 m to the north-west.
