Description
A sword fragment and part of a palstave from Felsted were sent to Mayer by Joseph Clarke of Saffron Walden, Essex in December, 1854. It is stated that the items were part of a hoard, but it is difficult to establish the date of discovery, what the hoard actually consisted of and where all the recorded objects went to, as the evidence is incomplete and somewhat obscure.
