Full Description
A hoard of two definite and two probable bronze palstaves found in ploughing just to the south of Stickford Lodge. The information came from a Spilsby resident, who has one of the palstaves. The grid reference given is TF 3673 6040 which is the site of Stickford Lodge. {1}{3}
Two looped palstaves (and two others which were sent for scrap) found during ploughing. One of the surviving palstaves was also recorded as being from East Keal see PRN40968 . {5}
This site has also been recorded at TF 357 588 but this grid reference is a considerable distance from Stickford Lodge. {2}
The grid reference is also given as TF 368 603 which would seem to more accurately fit the description of the find site. {4}
