NHER 28311 (Find Spot record) - Undated, Roman, medieval and post-medieval finds

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

Metal-detecting between 1990 and 2007 recovered Roman pottery sherds; Roman, medieval and post-medieval coins; a post-medieval token and undated, Roman and medieval metal objects. The metal finds include undated metal-working debris; Roman brooches, buckles and a phallic pendant and medieval buckles. Initial finds were reported as coming from dredged material from the river so subsequent finds from this location are possibly of a similar origin. Additional Roman pottery sherds were recovered from molehills in 2022.
