Extract

In January 1834 labourers employed in making a deep drain upon a farm in the occupation of Mrs. Gough at Sevington, in North Wilts, found some Saxon Pennies, nearly seventy, it is said, in number.

They were buried between two and three feet deep, in the middle of a meadow, where there was no trace of buildings; and appeared to have been deposited in a box, of which there were some decayed remains.
