⁴ Information kindly sent by Mr. Norman Smedley, Curator of Doncaster Museum, which has acquired the hoard.

⁵ Antiquity 1945, 11 ff. Mr. O'Neil here suggests that the interrupted linear earthwork facing SW known as Grey Ditch, which runs from the hill fort on Mam Tor across Bathamgate some ¾ mile SW of Anavio and seemingly covering the lead-mining area, may be a late sub-Roman British frontier, but this requires proof.

⁶ The Committee was formed in 1945 under the chairmanship of Councillor J. W. F. Hill by the enterprise of Mr. F. T. Baker, Curator of the Museum, and Mr. Graham Webster, the supervisor of the field-work, Mr. I. A. Richmond and Mr. C. F. C. Hawkes acting as advisers.

⁹ No site has been examined scientifically; only one, found some years ago, is recorded to have had three successive clay floors. A large collection of pottery, etc., from this area made during the last fifty years and including some forty complete vessels, has been presented by Mr. Warby to Wisbech Museum.

¹⁰ Information from Mr. E. J. Rudsdale, of Wisbech Museum, which has acquired the hoard, citing Miss Anne Robertson, who is publishing it. There seems some doubt whether the hoard of some 655 antoniniani and 5 denarii of Postumus (302), Marius (6), Victorinus (133), and Tetricus I (5), also dated to A.D. 271, is not actually a part of the 1938 hoard, though it is said to have been found in October, 1941, a few yards from Long Lots Drove Crossing on the north side of the railway line about ½ mile east of the 1938 hoard, and so in West Walton parish. (Papers of the Norfolk and Norwich Arch. soc. xxviii, 107 ff.; Num. Chron. 1943, 101; JRS xxxii, 110). Early in 1946 Wisbech Museum received fifty coins said to be from the hoard ‘on he Smeeth’, a description which might fit either hoard.
