Site comment

The hoard was found during the excavation of a Late Roman and Merovingian necropolis, close to a Gallo-Roman settlement. It was interpreted by G. Dunet as being a late Roman purse drop, but given its funerary context, it could equally well be a monetary offering in a burial. Parcel 803
