Summary
An Iron Age gold alloy torc terminal was possibly found in this ploughed field in 1947 although NHER 1911 was the original recorded find spot. The ring-shaped terminal is decorated in a similar style to the torcs recovered at Snettisham (NHER1487). The terminal was probably made in the 1st century BC or AD.
