Medieval coin hoard comprising 24 short cross pennies. They belong mostly to Henry III's reign, with a few earlier coins also present.

This was dug with spades to a depth of c.300mm, just above the base of the ploughsoil. Only a single additional coin was recovered.
This hoard was declared Treasure at inquest on 13 September 2010 (Ref: 2009 T704) and subsequently acquired by Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2011.344).
