Summary: Bronze Age hoard consisting of 191 objects including wood and cloth. The finds were found with a metal detector in the ploughsoil over an area at least 30ft. across, and the site was subsequently excavated by Andrew Rogerson. The site was ridged for asparagus immediately prior to the first discovery.
During excavation, the surface was removed to reveal an almost square pit (300 x 300mm) cut into natural orange clay to a depth of 90mm. The very clearly defined edges of the cut indicate that the pit was not left open for a great length of time. The upper surface was ba…

Middle Bronze Age, 1400-1200 BC. Measuring >30 x >113mm.
Fragment of copper alloy rapier. The blade is broken at both ends with the remains of two rivet-holes in the hafting-plate. There is a flat median rib and the edges are damaged.
A palstave (without loop, with a shield pattern on the blade which is defined on the sides by shoulders, measuring 135mm long, blade width 64mm, max. width of butt 22mm. Cf. Savory, 1980, 169, fig.21, no.148 for a similar example) was found at the same site in 1990, and it is therefore possible that these two items are part of a hoard.
