Full Description
SK 1734 8126 : Bradwell, Cist burial, iron spearhead, coin: Covered cist of sandstone and limestone flags, three feet by two feet wide and two feet deep, immediately beneath the turf found in 1897 in digging foundations for a house (now a drapery store) in Nether Side, opposite the Newburgh Arms Inn. The cist contained a male inhumation, socketed iron spearhead; a leaden spindle-whorl decorated with five raised pellets, and a copper button, decorated with hollows filled with gold, with a small ring at the back; all in Buxton Museum. A Roman coin said to have been found with the above is now lost. (2, 4, 5)
Near the Burgher's Arms Inn, in 1897, a sepulchral cist of gritstone slabs, containing male adult bones, a lead 'spindle whorl', an iron spearhead, a copper button and (according to one account) a Roman coin, since lost. The whorl does not appear Roman. (3)
