It was decided to investigate the site archaeologically to recover information about the findspot and circumstances of the deposition of the hoard. A small team of archaeologists from National Museums Liverpool and Cheshire Archaeological Advisory Service, together with the Finds Liaison Officer, met with the finder and farmer to investigate the site on 6 June 2012. Investigation of the findspot took place on 6-7 June 2012. Those involved on 6 June were: Alan Bates (finder), Dr Jill Collens (Cheshire AAS), Vanessa Oakden, Robert Philpott and Kate Sarbutt (National Museums Liverpool). EG: Whilst hoards containing both denarii and sestertii are less common than those containing coins of one metal, there are others recorded from this period. Parallels ending in the reign of Commodus are the hoards from Barway, Cambridgeshire and South Shields, Durham (Robertson 2000 , no. 317 and no. 323 respectively). The former contained four gold coins, 364 silver and one as, the latter two copper coins, thought to have been used to seal the mouth of the vessel containing the hoard (ibid. p.67, quoting J. H. Corbitt). This composition is also known where mixed hoards with jewellery are present, such as in the case of the hoard found in 1864 in Slay Hills, Rainham, in Kent (Robertson 328 p.69), which contained 16 silver coins and two copper alloy coins along with a silver armlet and two rings deposited during or after the 180s. This and the hoard from Church Minshull, Cheshire (mentioned in the publication of this excavation) containing 58 denarii and two silver-gilt trumpet brooches deposited c. AD 176 (or earlier), form suitable parallels for this find.
26910Unitary AuthorityIARCH-6ADCF4IARCH43553Restricted AccessExcavated with test pits, and with help of metal-detector. Full report in BM: The presence of several pottery fragments (which were subsequently found to join) in TP2, closely associated with a strong concentration of coins, as well as the occurrence of groups of coins stuck together (one pair, one group of three (90, 91 - 2 coins - 92)), including at least three coins in an as-yet unexcavated soil block, indicates this is the central focus of the hoard concentration. However, there was no sign of a cut feature such as a specially dug pit or an existing ancient feature such as a ditch into which the hoard had been inserted. The pottery was broken by the time it was incorporated into the colluvial or alluvial deposit, and the associated coins were displaced a little from what was presumably their original burial container. There was no sign of the upper part of the pottery vessel, and although the edges of the sherds are in a fairly good condition they are not fresh breaks, suggesting the material has been displaced from its original position. Therefore it is highly probable that the coins and other Roman material in the alluvium/colluvium are not in precisely their original place of deposition.

Silver coins and a brooch were found whilst using a metal-detector in May 2012. Subsequent survey and excavation of the findspot was carried out on 6th-7th June by the finder and a team of archaeologists from the National Museums Liverpool and Cheshire Archaeological Advisory Service, together with the Finds Liaison Officer. This consisted of further metal detecting and the excavation of five test pits. Further coins and objects were recovered during this work and subsequent metal-detecting by the finder later in June. The artefacts were brought to the British Museum in July 2012, along with a soil block from which additional coins were recovered in the conservation laboratory. Addenda of 35 further coins were brought to the Museum in January 2013 (some of which required cleaning in the laboratory order to be identified). A further 10 coins found between February and May 2013 were received in May 2013.
Description of find
The Coins
The coins consist of 101 Roman silver coins of the denomination known as a denarius (plural denarii ) and 2 copper alloy coins of the denomination known as a sestertius (plural sestertii). One other copper alloy coin was found associated with the hoard. It is completely corroded but has the appearance of a third to fourth century Roman 'radiate' or nummus and is probably a stray find. Three of the denarii had the appearance of ancient plated copies but their metal content has not been tested. The earliest coin in the group is a legionary denarius of Mark Antony (issued c. 32BC-31BC) and the latest a denarius of Commodus dated to AD 190-191. The chronological spread is thus consistent with a hoard of late second century date.

The objects
Judging from the date range of the coins, the date of deposition for all of these objects is likely to fall in the AD 180s.
1. Large Trumpet Brooch
Large silver-gilt trumpet brooch of Mackreth's Trumpet brooch sub-type 1.2c1 with petalled knop. Head is slightly hollow with R-shaped attachment for spring. Elaborate scroll pattern on head (two large open scrolls with complex moulding inside; separated by two trumpet like mouldings; the central moulding then curls back on itself into two tight scrolls above the central petalled knop, the lower bow in triangular in section and has two curvilinear relief-moulded designs resembling stylised waves, with projecting points, and diminishing in size toward the foot. The lower bow (recently broken and detached) has a knurled double moulding above the petalled foot, which terminates in a circular boss, with a central projection. The pin and head loop are missing. The catchplate has four perforations, three in a triangular formation towards the top and a single perforation towards the bottom. The outer edge of the catchplate is decorated with incised lines forming two elongated rectangular panels with internal oblique lines). A petalled rosette mount with a central boss, silver gilt, originally attached to the now missing head loop, is almost certainly from this brooch. The rear of the rosette is broken but two small round channels can be seen which held the headloop. Detached examples have been found at Wroxeter and Bourton on the Water (Boon 1978). Parcel-gilt, where the background is gilt leaving the silver scroll work to stand out in relief.
Date: 2nd century AD
Weight before cleaning: main brooch 84.2g, broken foot 6.2g; detached rosette 3.1g (total 93.5 g, but cleaning to remove soil will reduce this by several grams). Width at head: 25mm; Length (without headloop) 89mm.
A very close parallel can be seen in the brooch from the nearby Church Minshull, Cheshire hoard (Abdy et al. 2004). This is a very large brooch estimated at between 80 and 90mm long but it was deliberately broken and is incomplete. The head decoration is very similar to the Knutsford area example (latter requires cleaning). The smaller Carmarthen brooch (Boon and Savory 1975) represents another strong parallel. The petalled type of trumpet brooch is strongly western and northern in distribution (Mackreth 2011, 120). Mackreth lists examples from Wroxeter 2 and Church Stretton, while another comes from the Church Minshull hoard, Cheshire. The closest parallels in type are also geographically close, Shropshire and Cheshire (both Cornovian tribal territory) with the Carmarthen brooch from S Wales at a greater distance (Boon and Savory 1975).
The Knutsford area find is considerably larger than the Carmarthen example (89mm long compared to 63mm for the main brooch, minus headloop; the Carmarthen example weighs 49.5g with the headloop but lacks the pin; the Knutsford area example weighs around 90g. There is little doubt that the two exceptionally large brooches from the Knutsford area and Church Minshull hoards were manufactured by the same workshop or craftsman (and possibly even the same mould?). A fragment of another very large example published by Mackreth (2011, 120), from the Baths Basilica at Wroxeter might be from the same mould or workshop. Allowing for a lifespan of a couple of decades, the hoard deposition dates, possibly within a decade either side of 180, suggest the brooches were manufactured in the period AD 150-170. The wearing of linked brooches was a female fashion (cf. Chorley, Lancashire two silver trumpet brooches linked by a chain found with coins from Galba to Hadrian) (Boon and Savory 1975, 45).
2. Smaller Trumpet brooch.
The main elements are very similar to the larger brooch, though the decorative schemes vary slightly in detail. Lug at rear of head with single hole, head has elaborate curvilinear decoration; central moulding separated from bow by knurled decoration which is present on the central widest moulding, separating two petalled mouldings. The top edge of the catchplate is missing but shows the remains of a single perforation towards the top. The face of the catchplate is decorated with incised decoration in the form of pairs of stylised petals with a knurled border and the outer edge, with an incised zig-zag. Pin and spring are missing.
Date: 2nd century AD
Weight before cleaning: 26.11g; Length: 54mm; width at head: 15mm
3. Silver finger ring
Silver finger-ring with red semi-precious stone (carnelian?). Complete and in good condition. Henig type 11. Oval profile with a wide expanded bezel tapering smoothly at the shoulders to a narrow band, D-shaped in section. Patches of copper alloy corrosion product visible on the surface (before cleaning). The stone is oval, rather small for the size of the bezel and sits within a slight depression. A single incision mark is visible on the top. It appears that it has been filed down in antiquity to remove the design.
Date: mid-1st to mid-2nd century AD
Weight before cleaning: 9.51g; height (including stone): 20mm; height (not including stone): 18mm; width: 26mm; width of bezel: 12mm
4. Silver finger ring
Silver finger-ring with red semi-precious stone (carnelian?). Complete and in good condition. Henig type II. Sub-circular profile with a wide expanded bezel tapering smoothly at the shoulders to a narrow band, D-shaped in section. Heavily corroded surface with a dark grey, roughened patina. The stone is oval and lies flush with the surface of the bezel. It is incised with a winged figure, possibly Victory or Mercury, facing left with one arm extended forward. Some damage to the surface of the stone is visible around the figure's arm.
Date: mid-1st to mid-2nd century AD
Weight before cleaning: 12.8g; Height: 22mm; width: 25mm; width of bezel: 13mm
5. Elongated rod of iron of uncertain form. Possibly a nail shank.
Weight before cleaning: 28.18g; width: 19mm; length: 59mm
6. Uneven fragment of lead sheet.
Weight before cleaning: 11.91g; height: 9mm; max. width: 18mm; max. length: 27mm
7. Tiny, undiagnostic fragments of copper alloy.
Largest fragment: weight before cleaning: 0.3g; width: 5mm; length: 10mm
8. Narrow strip of lead, rolled.
Weight before cleaning: 8.87g; width: 10mm
9. Ceramics
Twenty-one fragments of an orange-ware vessel (jar or flagon, lower wall) are also present. Possibly Wilderspool Oxidised ware (Tomber and Dore 1998, 122, pl 94). The edges of the sherds are in a fairly good condition but they are not fresh breaks. Also found were two fragments of charcoal, one sherd of oxidised pottery with a grey core, of a different fabric to the other sherds, and four fragments of ceramic building material.

This object was found as part of Treasure Case 2012 T406, consisting of 101 Roman silver coins of the denomination known as a denarius (plural denarii ) and 2 copper alloy coins of the denomination known as a sestertius (plural sestertii). The earliest coin in the group is a legionary denarius of Mark Antony (issued c. 32BC-31BC) and the latest a denarius of Commodus dated to AD 190-191. The chronological spread is thus consistent with a hoard of late second century date. Also included in the hoard are 3 Roman trumpet brooches, two rosettes, two silver finger rings and ceramics.
On the balance of probabilities, we conclude that this hoard of constitutes a prima facie case of treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act (1996), by being part of a group of precious metal coins and objects of the same find.

One of 101 Roman silver coins of the denomination known as a denarius (plural denarii ) and 2 copper alloy coins of the denomination known as a sestertius (plural sestertii) from Treasure case 2012 T406. One other copper alloy coin was found associated with the hoard. It is completely corroded but has the appearance of a third to fourth century Roman 'radiate' or nummus and is probably a stray find. Three of the denarii had the appearance of ancient plated copies but their metal content has not been tested. The earliest coin in the group is a legionary denarius of Mark Antony (issued c. 32BC-31BC) and the latest a denarius of Commodus dated to AD 190-191. The chronological spread is thus consistent with a hoard of late second century date.
Roman Republican coins of Mark Antony are known to have circulated for a long period in Britain, and certainly during the second century AD. The composition of the group is typical for a hoard deposited in the late second century AD. Whilst hoards containing both denarii and sestertii are less common than those containing coins of one metal, there are others recorded from this period and there is no doubt that the two sestertii belong to the hoard. The date of the coins is also consistent with the date of the other associated objects.
Recommendation
On the balance of probabilities, we conclude that this hoard of constitutes a prima facie case of treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act (1996), by being part of a group of precious metal coins and objects of the same find.

The composition of the group is typical for a hoard deposited in the late second century AD. Whilst hoards containing both denarii and sestertii are less common than those containing coins of one metal, there are others recorded from this period and there is no doubt that the two sestertii belong to the hoard. The date of the coins is also consistent with the date of the other associated objects.
Recommendation:
On the balance of probabilities, we conclude that this hoard of constitutes a prima facie case of treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act (1996), by being part of a group of precious metal coins and objects of the same find.2.48Unitary AuthorityCertain426525marcus_aureliusLVPL4355317.87161Restricted Accessx41218263528582.9romeCheshire East11728Denarius (Empire)2014-01-10T15:21:04ZSubmitted for consideration as TreasureNorth WestExactlyCertain

This object was found as part of Treasure Case 2012 T406, consisting of 101 Roman silver coins of the denomination known as a denarius (plural denarii ) and 2 copper alloy coins of the denomination known as a sestertius (plural sestertii). The earliest coin in the group is a legionary denarius of Mark Antony (issued c. 32BC-31BC) and the latest a denarius of Commodus dated to AD 190-191. The chronological spread is thus consistent with a hoard of late second century date. Also included in the hoard are 3 Roman trumpet brooches, two rosettes, two silver finger rings and ceramics.
The coins satisfy the terms of the Treasure Act with regard to age and metal content. They are certainly more than 300 years old and at least 98 of them have precious metal content in excess of 10%.
On the balance of probabilities, we conclude that this hoard of constitutes a prima facie case of treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act (1996), by being part of a group of precious metal coins and objects of the same find.
