What this record tells us

The county Roman-sites account records a substantial quantity of late fourth- and early fifth-century coins from the Monkland and Stretford area, found by a landowner. The principal record is HER 31870. This is a useful lead beyond the better-known Leominster hoards.

The account does not establish that all the coins formed one deposit, nor does it provide an adequate object-by-object inventory. The locality grid is deliberately broad and must not be used to select a field. Because the record covers a wider area, its inclusion is provisional at the boundary level until the full HER file establishes the actual location.
