Fetching coin data
The pot in which the hoard was concealed had been broken and scattered in the plough-soil. The rim is missing, destroyed by previous ploughings, but one fragment which has survived indicated that the opening was about 6.5 inches in diameter. The pot is slate grey with scribbled zigzag decoration on the shoulder and three burnished bands below and one above. The inside, and especially the bottom three inches, is heavily encrusted with bronze corrosion.
The pot shows traces of bronze corrosion on the outside of the base. Used as a lid for the container. It is black with a metallic lustre, decorated with horizontal burnished lines, a groove on the shoulder and a flattened cordon on the neck. There is a shallow depression in the base.
