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.
How this record is evidenced
Herefordshire Through Time identifies late Roman coins and county HER 31870. The summary does not establish a single hoard.
The investigation details are drawn from Leominster Heritage research from cited published sources; the original publication or report remains the authoritative source.
The clean title and short public summary have been prepared by Leominster Heritage and remain separate from the wording of the source record.
The open questions below identify the details that have not yet been securely established.
