?Stibbard Hoard.
Originally catalogued as " ?Near Ely" since it was from the Cole Ambrose Collection but subsequently thought to be from the same mould as Z 4298 and hence part of the Stibbard Hoard. It may well have originated in Marshall Fisher' s Ely Museum. Fisher was certainly an active collector around the time of the publication of the hoard in 1851. CUMAA material from this hoard is not referred to by Rowlands.
Collected by: Ambrose.Cole; Ambrose Collection.
