Iron Age coin 800m NW of Turner's Green

1 A silver ‘stater’ of Coritanian style in November 1987 was recovered from this site using a metal detector. The stater is of South Ferriby type and dates to the first half of the first century AD. It has on one side a boar right, only the hind legs being distinct; on the reverse side is a horse, with chest and girth straps, prancing right. A quarter of the coin’s flan has broken away of which two tiny fragments remain. Weight 1.09 gm.
2 An Iron Age presence was indicated, but it is not clear whether this represented earlier occupation or native craftsmen working within a Roman manufacturing centre.
