(

)

... that the Lenborough Hoard, found just before Christmas 2014, is believed to be one of the largest hoards of Anglo-Saxon coins ever discovered in Britain?

A new article which is long enough and appears to be written in a neutral tone, with most of the claims being supported by reliable sources and no evidence of plagiarism or close paraphrasing. The hook is quite interesting (although I'm not sure the Christmas reference is vital/relevant for a find on 21 December) and supported by a quote from a relevant expert in a reliable source.— Rod ^talk 13:01, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

I feel that we could do something better with the hook, especially as it probably is the largest hoard of Anglo-Saxon coins ever to have been discovered (the larger Cuerdale Hoard comprising mostly coins minted in the Danelaw). Christmas is relevant because it was the metal detecting club's special Christmas rally. BabelStone (talk) 13:24, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Would you like to suggest an ALT hook?— Rod ^talk 15:44, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
