Full description
Winter 1985-6.
Badly corroded rear-hook brooch, spring pin and foot missing.
NB said to have been found this in the same place as the three hammered silver coins reported by finder to NCM two or three years previously - there is no trace of these in NHER. Were they found somewhere else or never reported?
A. Gregory (NAU), 21 May 1986.
