Three eighth-century pennies, also known as sceattas, were unearthed near pits containing disrupted human bones. Carbon-14 dating has determined that the human remains date to the mid-Saxon period and probably originate from a disturbed cemetery either on or near the site.

The discovery of these coins, each around 1cm in diameter, near human remains introduces the intriguing possibility that they could have been grave goods. Notably, two of the coins were found corroded together, suggesting -they were originally kept in a pouch or small bag. The inclusion of coins as grave goods is well-documented in furnished Anglo-Saxon burials from the sixth- to the early eighth-centuries. These coins often featured loops for suspension, serving as pendants on necklaces or as adornments on chests in female graves. There are also instances of unaltered coins found in similar contexts, such as the discovery in Finglesham, Kent, where a male burial included a purse containing eight late seventh-century sceattas, and at Buttermarket in Ipswich, where a male was buried with a waist pouch containing two seventh-century gold tremisses, one of which was a forgery. Another case can be observed in Burial 2 at Garton-on-the-Wolds in North Humberside, where eight second-series sceattas, presumably once stored in a purse or pouch, were recovered from beneath the left side of the pelvis.
