This may be the same as site NHER 22900, misplaced. See that record.
A. Gregory (NAU), September 1986.

In September 1986 A. Gregory (NAU) suggested that NHER 20467 that 'may be the same as site NHER 22900, misplaced'. The use of the word 'misplaced' is slightly ambiguous. It probably means that the coins recorded as NHER 20467 could have come from the location of NHER 22900 and that the approximate grid reference recorded for NHER 20467 may be wrong. It is unlikely to mean that the eight Roman coins found at NHER 20467 were 'misplaced'. This is because the coin lists from NHER 20467 and 22900 feature different coins (although many of the coins are illegible or nearly illegible).
