Grid reference corrected from original TF9950 8564 by W. Milligan (NCM).

1993. Metal-detecting.
1 medieval lead pilgrim's ampulla. Very squashed. Crown on one face/shield on other - Walsingham.
1 post-medieval coin (Elizabeth I sixpence, 1558 to 1603).
The ampulla is probably the same object as one that was seen and drawn by the Moyses Hall Museum the same year (S2). Although NHER 34487 has been suggested as a possible source for the object seen at Moyses Hall there is no particular reason for this to be the case and it matches the description of the ampulla recorded as being from this site.
