ONE OF seven silver coins of Iron Age date and early Roman date found by six different finders in the vicinity of previously reported contemporary hoards (Treasure cases PEE72, 2005 T199, 2005 T200 and 2006 T163). The present finds are of similar type and age and found within the general area of the previously reported hoards so archaeological association is suspected.
