The coins consist of 11 South Western British uninscribed silver staters commonly associated with the Durotriges, a people thought to have inhabited an area covering the modern county of Dorset, parts of Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire and the Isle of Wight during the late Iron Age. The silver coins appear to be all of the type ABC 2169 / VA 1235-1 / BMC 2555ff produced from about 60/50 BC to the late first century BC. However in most cases the coin design is too indistinct to be certain that they do not belong to varieties of this type. The coins are fairly worn in appearance an…

All but one of the coins that can be identified or part-identified appear to be Constantinian nummi (sing. nummus) (i.e. of the emperor Constantine the Great, AD 306-337, and his sons) of the period, c.AD 317-324. An older coin denomination, a 'radiate' produced at London by the Romano-British usurper Allectus (AD 293-6) has also survived in circulation long enough to be deposited with these nummi.

These are a group of 4 silver pennies of the Short Cross coinage, a type used for about 80 years though 4 reigns. Their details allow them to be dated more precisely, as set out below. As official English pennies they will have a silver standard of over 90% fine metal. They would have been in currency together in the years around 1210 and it is likely that they represent a single deposit. In the 13th century cut halfs and quarters of Short Cross pennies usually outnumber full pennies in areas of individual coin losses, and a collection of full pennies alone is more likely to represent…

A group of 12 coins reported found near Evershot, Dorset. All are of silver of the sterling standard, c. 92.5% fine metal, a standard followed in both Scotland and England at this time. The coins appear to represent the currency of England in the later 1350s and 1360s, when the issues of Edward III's Fourth Coinage had come to dominate over the older sterlings of Edward I and II, although these still represented a large proportion of the penny denomination in use. Most of the coins are the higher silver denominations of groat (fourpence) and half-groat (twopence). Scottish coins of Da…
