Full Description

Site of find of 4 Ro coins visited, with finder. The findspot was right on the water's edge, in the mud at the base of an eroded inlet. A variety of material has been dumped along the bank to reinforce it, and one such dump of stone and rubble was eroding out above the findspot. It was unclear whether the coins had come from the river, the natural river bank or the stony material. (1)
