Object type: HARNESS FITTING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper-alloy cruciform object of probable Roman date, probably a harness fitting (c. 43 - 410 AD).

Circumstances of discovery: The 'near Cookley' hoard was discovered on the 19th of August 2018 by Mr [name redacted], metal detecting on a cultivated field with the landowner's permission. He initially discovered 12 silver denarii, and on returning to the field the next day dug out another 48 from some depth- apparently around 18 inches. The initial finds were spread 'a few yards', but those recovered deeper appear to have been unfortunately dug out of an archaeological context. No pottery sherds were observed by the finder, and thus it seems probable that the coins were buried in an …
