Brown, A. and Ghey, E. North Suffolk 2009 T243 . Unpublished catalogue, The British Museum.
The hoard appears to have been placed in a small pit but no evidence of a container was preserved. Disturbance had caused some dispersal of the hoard. "The coins were brought to the British Museum in July 2009, along with an undiagnostic lead fragment and a small fragment of modern metal. On examination, some of the fragments were found to join and the hoard was found to consist of 205 Roman silver denarii, one silver coin of Juba I of Numidia and two unidentifiable silver coin fragments. 95 of the coins are Roman Republican in date, with the earliest coin dating to c. 179-170 BC. The latest coin is a denarius of Domitian dating to circa AD 82-83. The composition of the hoard is typical for a hoard of this date (it can be compared with the Skellow hoard from South Yorkshire and the Beck Row, Mildenhall hoard from Suffolk ). Coins of Juba I are known to have circulated in Britain with Roman denarii, being of similar weight and size. Similar coins were found in the Sutton and Beck Row hoards from Suffolk."
