Summary
Excavation on the site of the discovery of many Middle Bronze Age objects (NHER 5235) demonstrates that they were deposited beside a small roddon. The objects seem to be part of a hoard but have been redeposited at this site along with some Iron Age objects probably during a flood in the Iron Age.
