[1][2] After Andrusyk discovered the initial group of four rings and a fragment of a gold brooch, he informed the Portable Antiquities Scheme who then surveyed the field.
[5] The 2009 finds were a gold finger-ring with a round bezel, filigree and granulated decoration, as well as a lead disc, most likely a spindle whorl.
[7] This well-worn gold ring is decorated with four panels with Trewhiddle style ornamentation in the form of two creatures and two plant motifs.
[7] This gold fragment would have originally been inlaid with glass or jewels and whilst neither of those were present, the cells that would have held them show signs that the pieces were levered out.
[7] The partial gold ingot shows clear cut marks and its form coincides with other pieces that have been dated to the ninth to eleventh centuries.
[7] Whilst archaeological investigation of the find-spot did not reveal a wider context for the site, it did show that the hole which the hoard had been placed in had been reopened and buried several times.
