Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
1995-2005. Geophysical and fieldwalking survey.
Two Saxon sceats were found during fieldwalking of a primarily late Iron Age to Romano-British settlement at Leaden Roding. The excavators interpret the presence of the coins as indicative of occupation on the site well in to the Anglo-Saxon period. The coins date from the late sixth century to the early ninth.
Coin 1: 'Sceat' series D Type 8 dating to AD 580-750, wt. 1.15g, diam. 12mm.
Coin 2: 'Sceat' series A3 Type 2A dating to AD 616 - 825 wt. 1.24g, diam. 12mm. <1>
Note: more evidence may be necessary to confirm this as the site of an Anglo-Saxon settlement.
