"Several coins of the House of Theodosius" found in the fills of oven 4 in Building 1 in the Somerleigh Court excavations of 1969-1970.

In order to do this, only coins recovered from rubble conte…

A wooden keg or circular box of yew wood held together with iron staves with bronze fittings. One of three containers for the Dorchester hoard found in 1936 (IARCH-5E5FEF). Thought to be about 10 inches in diameter and 8 inches high.
The container has been fully published by P. Pugsley (2002). She emphasises the unique and decorative design of this object, apparently purpose-built as a money box, which would equally have functioned as an attractive item of furniture.

In error, a description of the Thornbury pot was inserted into Toone's summary in CHRB XII. The correct description by P J Woodward is below (images in Oswin 2011):
"The coin hoard was inside a large grey-ware single-handled jar or flagon, burnished with a linear scheme of decoration. The vessel had been buried upright, but on lifting partly collapsed with the weight of coin. The vessel rim, upper neck and handle were not present. Sharp breaks on the neck sherds may be a result of ploughing, but any fragments surviving in the plough zone were not recovered. After reconstruction, so…

A futher 33 coins were "cemented to the fabric of a smaller pot" (Oswin p.5). There seems to be some confusion over this. Woodward writes: "All records have been collated at the Dorset County Museum, to where the pot and the 33 coins adhering to the inner surface were donated by the finder and landowner (DCM Accession 2006.6)". It is not clear that this is a separate pot, though elsewhere he refers to a 'container' pot.
