Full description
2nd and 3rd century pottery sherds, a bronze coin of Galerius Maximian and two other coins found with a metal detector in 1977 in 'Lloyd-Davies Field'. They were deposited at Letchworth Museum.
In 1985 the field was surveyed and metal-detected by North Herts Museums and North Herts Archaeological Society, the finds including late Iron Age and Roman pottery, a Celtic coin, three or possibly four Roman coins and a lead weight (undated). These late Iron age and Roman items were concentrated towards the western edge of the field. For Saxon, medieval and post-medieval finds in the same field, see [2549].
