Before1933.
About 9m (30 ft) OD. Ptolemaic Egyptian coin was found 45cm (18 inches) deep and hammered out before 1933.
Seen by E. N. Mennell.
(S1) 38 gives 2 Ptolemaic; he regards as scrap metal (refers to this and site 1749 and perhaps site 1748).

This note was placed by R. R. Clarke (NCM) on the same card as for site 1749 and cross reference, though 25 inch OS shows that garden of smithy is clearly some yards west of site 1749.
Are there two sites or is 1749 also a mistake for this site?
See that card.
