牛津科茨沃爾德考古學在 Sizewell C 進行挖掘時發現了裝有 321 枚全新硬幣的布包。

The “historically significant” find was dug up in a small lead bundle which is the size of a Cornish pasty and has been dubbed as “the pasty” by archaeologists.

這項「具有歷史意義」的發現是在一個小鉛捆中挖出來的，鉛捆的大小相當於康沃爾餡餅，被考古學家稱為「餡餅」。

團隊認為，主人可能在 1042 年懺悔者愛德華加冕後將錢埋了起來，再也沒有機會回來。
