De Jersey discusses 257 Iron Age coins were discovered throughmetal detectingand excavation by Dr Ian Stead, at Essendon between 1992 and 1994. The assemblage can be divided into several distinct hoards but is treated as one due to lack of available contextual information. The excavations remain unpublished but the archaeology suggests a sequence of deposits within an enclosure in a similar manner to Hallaton and Snettisham. These groups included a torc and ingots associated with hoard A and a hoard (C) of iron metalwork found in situ in a waterlogged area to the east of the site. …

10 bronze coins from cremation burial 317 in King Harry Lane late Iron Age cemetery (Stead and Rigby 1989, 354). The grave goods consisted of three pots and a brooch as well as the ten coins, three of which were found on a platter. The bodies were identified as one adult and one immature. De Jersey (2015) notes the dating of Phase 1 burials from the site to AD 1-40.

De Jersey (2014): "Members of the "Vectis Searchers" carried out a controlled search of an area of about half a hectare between 18-22 September 2003, under the direction of the Isle of Wight Archaeology and Historic Environment Service. Twenty-one coins were recovered, all from the topsoil, and all were plotted with GPS. Some very abraded Iron Age sherds were found in the same area, though not necessarily associated with the coins (BMHF; TAR 2003, 152 no. 355 (2003 T245)). The coins display a number of interesting features. Although fundamentally Durotrigan in style, many of the r…

The first Iron Age coin finds appear to have been made c.1993, with additional finds coming to light over the following two or three years. The consolidated finds list below is based on the British Museum records together with information from other sources including Hunt (1995; 1998), Wellington (2001, 43-4, 50-6), Frank Basford, and Rebecca Loader (pers. comm.).

De Jersey (2014): ""This is the only coin of this type to be found in Britain. It came from the beach, near (or below) the site of a Roman villa which fell into the sea at the beginning of this century." Wellington 2001, 55 no. 109 Remarkably, another five years after Wellington listed this coin, a second example was found on the same beach, below the mean low water level on a spring tide. The two coins are struck from the same reverse die but different obverses.198 In April 2008, a third gold stater of another Armorican type was found on the beach (PATAR 2008, 189 no. 476, 371 n…

The potins were scattered at the east end of an elongated pit, "which could be interpreted as overlapping postholes or small pits" (BMHF), situated immediately east of "a small sub-rectangular enclosure of middle to late Iron Age date" (Diack et al. 2000, 473).

Further detecting and excavation took place in 2004 and 2005, so that by September 2005 the total number of coins and fragments was said to be 495 (BMHF, 2003 T339, report dated 22 September 2005). The coins are now being studied - in advance of full cleaning - by David Holman, who has suggested (pers. comm.) that the total number of coins has previously been exaggerated, since a number of the fragments may…

"There are conventionally thought to have been at least three separate finds of Iron Age coinage at South Ferriby, on the south bank of the Humber, in the first decade of the twentieth century. Two of them are described in some detail by Roth (1906; 1908; 1909), and the third is included by Allen in his Sylloge volume on the Coritani (1963a, 11) and in a short paper for Hull Museum (1963b). In total almost 170 coins can still be securely associated with this find". [extensive report in de Jersey 2014]

De Jersey (2014): "Nine gold staters were found on the second day of the Stixwould Rally, on 6 September 2008 (Spencer 2010, 44). Because of the risk of illicit detecting on the site, a further search was carried out on 20 September, when five staters and two silver units were recovered (BMHF; 2008 T489; PATAR 2008, 188 no. 470; PAS LIN-23ADA8), bringing the total to fourteen staters and two silver units. Other Iron Age coins were found at the same rally, "but the closer grouping of these coins suggests that they probably formed a single group at the time of their burial in antiquity"…

Listing of Iron Age coins from the site given by de Jersey (2015) based on multiple finds since the late nineteenth century and more recent detector finds from the 1970s onwards. De Jersey writes: "The main problem with many of the more recent finds is the lack of any detailed contextual information. Consequently it is difficult to say which, if any, of these coins might be added to the hoard - if indeed we accept that the earlier find was a hoard - and which coins would be better considered as site finds." Coins not listed by De Jersey are in the CCI.

Further batches were found after this date. De Jersey (2015) writes: "The limited archaeological evidence (Chadburn and Gurney 1991, 219) suggested that the pottery vessel containing the hoard had been smashed by a previous episode of subsoiling, in 1988; no evidence of any pit or other feature which might have contained the vessel had survived.

De Jersey (2015) provides a detailed account of Snettisham hoards B and C were initially discovered by a tractor driver on 13 and 14 November 1948 (Clarke 1954, 28). "After being left on the field for about a week the finds were collected, at which point parts of the two hoards unfortunately became mixed. The twelve coins from hoard B, however, were not discovered until the excavation which was directed by Clarke in December 1948." Possibly buried with hoard C in a box or boxes, the torcs may have been associated with B or C.

De Jersey (2014): "Two metal detectorists searching land at Harpsden Wood found seventeen coins apparently within a flint container (BMHF). Very few precise details of the find, which was made on 7 June 1981, are available. There is a Roman villa next to Harpsden Wood, but any association with the hoard is unclear. The publication by Burnett and Cowell (1988, 4-6) includes metal analyses of all seventeen coins. Note that Sills (2003, 363 no. 27) has modified the classes of some of the Gallo-Belgic E staters.
