Full description

NMR, CITING ANTIQ J. + ROWE, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV136166.

A copper coin of valentian ii, probably cohen no 22, was found on july 16th 1879 "in the road near a deep pool in the river called horse's belly", close to sidmouth by a boy called hooke (nmr, citing antiq j. + rowe).

NMR, CITING GIBBENS, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV136167.

Horse's belly is a pool about 60 yards downstream from the "waterloo" bridge over the sid, from sidmouth to salcombe, and about the same distance above the ford. The name only occurs in hutchinson's ms. And is unknown locally now (nmr, citing gibbens).
