Summary
Metal-detecting in 2011 recovered a medieval annular brooch, copper alloy vessel (probably a chrismatory), dagger quillons, ampulla and later post-medieval hinged casket hasp and hook. These were found somewhere in the vicinity of the spot mapped, as the finder was uncertain of the findspot. Some objects may have been from the vicinity of 55990 instead.
