NHER 54009 (Find Spot record) - Late Bronze Age metalwork hoard

April 2010. Metal-detecting.
Fragments of Late Bronze Age metalwork indicative of a hoard were recovered from the ploughsoil deposited in a square pit (30 x 30cm) cut into natural orange clay to a depth of 9cm. The clearly defined edges of the pit indicated that it was quickly infilled and not left open for any great length of time. Pieces of woven cloth were also recovered and the decayed remains of wood, probably a plank, was visible on the base in the southern end of the pit.
See secondary file.
This hoard was submitted as potential Treasure, along with eleven additional fragments discovered between May and June 2010 - see below.
