Description: | A solid iron truncated pyramid 57mm high While the base is rectangular the striking surface is in the form of a rectangle with the corners removed. Considered to be a die for striking coins. The date of the die is currently under discussion having been placed in the Roman period by Sam Moorhead. However the finds of Roman coin blanks from nearby in the same field also suggest that it is likely to be Roman. Further research is needed into coin dies and comparison with those from the nearby [6.11mls north] Fenny Stratford coin manufacturing hoard [Zeepvat 1994]
