Full Description
Many Roman coins were found at 'Gigglesburn' when a ditch was dug before 1724. It is thought that the former farm of Jiggle's Hurn, to the south-west of Gedney, may be the location for the find. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}
'At Gedney Hill several Roman coyns have been found, some of Antoninus are in your collection'.
