Full Description
March 1835.
'A fortnight ago workmen trenching near Cringleford Hall found several skulls and other human bones; in the same spot as dug up about one hundred Roman small brass coins. Mostly of Constantine the Great'.
From (S1) in (S2), where the owner of the hall says that there was formerly a chapel near where the coins were found, by which he accounts for the bones. This is referring to site NHER 5008, but as the chapel was discovered in 1800 and owner does not seem certain one does not feel justified in giving the hoard and the chapel the same site number.
R. R. Clarke (NCM) gives reference (S3); location of coins not known.
E. Rose (NAU).
