Some or all of these finds may be associated with the nearby dispersed hoard (CHER 7526/1/1-4), however these finds are clearly much ealier than the majority of the coins. Alternatively the concentration of finds may suggest a settlement, possibly associated with the Middlewich to Whitchurch road (see CHER 1189/1/0).
