A worn and melted gold disc, probably a Gallo-Belgic A stater. Dimensions: Thickness: 1.9mm; Diameter: 24.2mm; Weight 7.60g Discussion: This item was submitted for consideration as potential Treasure because it was found very close to a previously recorded Roman gold aureus of Trajan (BH-80B838). However, given that the coin is likely to be a Gallo-Belgic A stater dating to the 2nd Century BC, the proximity of its findspot to the gold aureus is thought to be coincidental rather than representational of a group of coins lost at the same time. It therefore falls outside the criter…

A Roman polygonal gold finger-ring, formed of a circular hoop, with seven irregular lozenge-shaped facets of similar dimensions, all plain and undecorated. The surface of this ring is slightly roughly finished. It can be classified as Henig's type IX.

3 fragments of gold bar, flattened by hammering. Lengths 29, 25 and 9mm. 1 fragment of gold chopped from a thin round-sectioned bar, distorted to an 'S' shape, length 29mm. 1 very pitted and eroded gold fragment, length 15mm. 1 fragment of round-sectioned, tapering brass bar, length 30mm. Conclusion: The gold fragments could be ancient but diagnostic features are insufficient to attribute to any chronological or cultural context. Due to the undiagnostic nature of the objects they cannot be securely dated to pre-1713 and as such fall outside the provisions of the Treasure A…
