Notes about this historic site
1 Find made with a metal detector in 1987. A late prehistoric gold stater in good condition. Weight 5.77g. This is an example of British B, a forerunner of the Dobunnic inscribed coinage, but having the convex side blank. On the concave reverse is a triple-tailed horse right with eight-spoked wheel and zig-zag sling below the body, ‘hands of victory’ above and part of the vesica enclosing stroke to left.
