Anonymous report that the Foulden/Fincham/Fakenham torc terminals were found 'near the old church at Bawsey'.
This could refer to NHER 3326, 12364 or 21078.
A. Gregory (NAU) 15 January 1986.

This report has now been clarified as referring to the area near Bawsey church proper, and the findspot is said to be either site NHER 3326 or 12364. This has now come from several independent sources and appears to be the most authorative findspot.
