W. Milligan (NCM) 3 July 1987.
A wrist clasp from this site (and amongst the objects listed above) was subsequently purchased by [2] and later donated to the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 1994.167). This was confirmed by a comparison of a photograph of the object now in the NCM [3] and one of the polaroids taken in 1987. As this connection was not initally made the wrist clasp was previously recorded under NHER 33359.
P. Watkins (HES), 23 August 2016.
