The finds included fragments of Roman Pottery gold coins of Valentinian II and Mauritius Tiberius; 7 denarii and brasses of Antoninus and other emmperors, together with silver coins of Henry II, Edward II, Edward VI, Mary, Elizabeth I etc. A Roman fibula was also found (B1).
This is presumably 'The Primroses', Rickfords Hill, indicated as the site of the Friary on the RCHM map (B4).
