page 238 note 1 Allen, D. F., The Coins of the Coritani (1963), p. 19.Google Scholar The first coin-pellet-mould fragment came from exploratory digging by a local group, mostly pupils of Carre's Grammar School, Sleaford, in 1961. This had been organized by their schoolmaster, Mr. C. W. R. Ellis, and Dr. K. R. Fennell, F.S.A., whose investigations, including excavation and aerial reconnaissance, had begun in 1955. See Fennell, K. R., ‘King Street in Kesteven and some notes on Old Sleaford’, Lincs. Historian, ii, no. 6 (1959), 22. They developed into a series of excavations and watching briefs by the then Ministry of Works between 1960 and 1964. These were supervised by the writer and W. T. Jones, F.S.A.Google Scholar

page 239 note 2 The mould fragments are now being cleaned and checked for joins by students of Nottingham University (by courtesy of Mr. M. Todd, F.S.A.) under the supervision of Mrs. Sheila M. Elsdon.
