Total number of coins

Summary

Fifteen nummi dating to AD 375, or possibly from a Magnentian hoard that includes a stray nummus of Gratian, were found alongside an unrelated first-century brooch and a sherd of greyware. The grey ware was not thought to form a container due to the small amount found. The discovery of an additional 7 coins and 5 greyware sherds could potentially imply that this was indeed a container.

Ceramic vessel

A body sherd of Romano-British greyware. Uncertain if a container to the hoard but seems unlikely given only one sherd?. 30 mm x 24mm Five further sherds were found with the 2014 addenda; no further details.
