{1} (SP 974740) "In the fields above Mill Cotton that is those of Ringstead, have been ploughed up a few pieces of Roman money, particularly just above the place called Mallows Cotton".
{2} Auth {1} when stating "above the place called Mallows Cotton" probably means up the hillside and not north. This would give an area centred approx SP 980737.
