Comment

Robertson 297 and 398 are the same because the method of discovery in the 1854 account (no. 398) is that reported in the newspaper articles quoted in no. 297 as the source for Babington's note (although not mentioned by him). Babington also mentions that the find belongs to S. Batson, which is a feature of the account by Neville 1854 in Pastscape record 376971. It is likely that the NC report for 1854 quoted by Robertson (no. 398) is an inaccurate description of the date (c. 1840) and contents of this 1832 find [source: PAS BM/Leicester hoards dataset].
