A HISTORY OF NORFOLK 



British and Roman coins, cornelian intaglio of Minerva, fibulae, 

 stamped pelves, etc. \_ArchiSological yournal, iv. 252 ; 'Journal of the 

 British Archaeological Jsiociation, iv. 382, vi. 158 ; Dawson Turner, 

 MS. 23,061, 40-44; Evans, Ancient British Coins, 382]. 



Key [Proceedings of Soc. of Antiquaries, xii. (1889), 405 ; Archaeological 

 Review, iv. 69]. See p. 298. 



Threxton is 3 miles south of Ashili, near the Peddar's Way. There 

 may have been some sort of habitation here, whether connected 

 with Ashili (p. 295) or not. 



Coins of Gallienus, Victorinus, Tetricus Quintillus, and others, 

 found 1707 [John Pointer, Britannia Romana (Oxf. 1724), 

 p. 41 ; Blomefield, x. 181 ; Norfolk Archaology, iv. 315]. 

 Presumably a hoard of ' Third Brass.' 



Hoard in two urns, found 1837, perhaps over the Cambridgeshire 

 border [Gentleman s Magazine, 1 838, i. 302]. 



Alleged aqueduct of 26 earthenware pipes, and Roman bricks, found 

 near the sea bank in a garden, about 1725 [Parish Register of 

 1732 ; Stukeley's Diaries,, iii. 27 ; Gough, Add. to Camden, ii. 

 199, etc.]. Needs confirmation very much. Roman embank- 

 ment, see Appendix. 



Reynolds [Itinerarium, p. 469] notes urns here (from Browne), but 

 they are English. 



Two coins of Constantine I, found close to ' Roman Bank,' now in 

 Wisbech Museum [Cambridge Chronicle, March 2, 1850]. 



'Third Brass' of Carus in Saxon ornament [Numismatic Chronicle, 

 1865 ; Proceedings, p. 9]. 



In Chapelfield, on high ground overlooking river Ant, many lathe- 

 turned urns of a blue grey ware [Archaologia, xxiii. 373]. 

 Perhaps Roman. 



Hoard (a peck measure) of bronze coins found in the sand on the 

 shore, Maximian, Constantine I., Constantius, etc. [Norfolk 

 Archaology, iii. 421]. 



Inscribed pewter dish found 1864 : p. 310. Other pewter vessels 

 found 1843 : p. 311. 



Hoard of coins found in 1718, including Carausius [Stukeley's 

 Diaries, ii. 23 ; William Watson, Hist, of IVisbech, p. 553 ; 

 Skertchley's Fenland, p. 471, etc.]. The coins, or engravings 

 of them, are said to have gone to Trinity College Library in 

 Cambridge ; but I have enquired there in vain, and the statement 

 is, I suppose, an error. 



Hoard, 300 British, 2 Roman Republican (Antony, Cassia) [Norfolk 

 Archaology, iv. 357 ; Numismatic Chronicle, xv. (1853), 98]. 



Between Weybourne and Cley on ' Salthouse Broad,' and at Green- 

 borough Hill close by, pottery of Roman and perhaps other 

 periods, kiln, etc. [Norfolk Archaology, iv. 355, v. 254, vi. 

 155]. The Ordnance Survey adds pottery at Weybourne Hope 

 [x. N.W.]. 



No Roman remains seem ever to have been found here [see Norfolk 

 Burgh Archaology, iv. 314 ; Archaologia, xxiii. 364]. The road traced 

 by Robberds [Geological Observations on the Eastern Valleys of 

 Norfolk, p. 23] is imaginary. The bronze ornament assigned 

 here by Dawson Turner [MS. 23,048, p. 36] belongs to Caister- 

 by- Yarmouth. 

 . Coins [Blomefield, ix. 206]. 



Oaken coffin, human bones, Samian (SATINVS) and other pottery ; 

 and above the interment animals' bones, the shank bones of 

 sheep and goats being in bundles [Gentleman s Magazine, 1840, 

 ii. 643 ; Dawson Turner, 23,049, p. 26]. 

 Salmon's conjecture for Sitomagus [Roman Stations in Britain, etc, 

 London, 1726], but no Roman remains here.
