Notes about this historic site
1 A ?hoard of Roman coins was found early in 1947 by two County Council workmen, Douglas Edgington of Halford and Walter Grantham (now deceased) of Ettington. The coins were discovered during road widening operations on the Fosse Way between Halford and Ettington. They were approximately 0.46m below the surface on the W side of the road at the above grid reference (273476) and opposite the junction with the minor road to Fulready. There was no trace of any container and the coins were scattered over an area 0.9m in length. A number of the coins were saved, but unfortunately they have since disappeared.
