Summary

A hoard of 260 siliquae and 1 solidus ranging from Constantius II to Honorius and Arcadius, found in a small pottery vessel, the top half of which had been removed by ploughing. The coins were found either in the damaged pot or in the plough soil immediately to the west. Following the initial publication of the hoard in 1981, further scattered siliquae were recovered near its site of discovery after cultivation of the field in 1980 and 1981. The solidus of Valentinian I was found about a hundred yards away from the rest of the hoard. It has been badly damaged by the plough and could have been moved by it, but it must remain uncertain whether or not it formed part of the hoard.
