Description: | Seven Iron Age coins and one Roman coin were found at the same site as two earlier Treasure finds; one comprising thirty-three coins (2009T109) and the other 24 coins (2008T325). The Iron Age coins consist of seven small silver units, all dating from the late Iron Age (c. 50 BC-AD 50) and one Roman Republican denarius of Mark Antony and Octavian struck in 41 BC.
