A hoard of 134 copper alloy Roman nummi, mostly 4th century. What follows is an extract of the report written by Dr. Eleanor Ghey of the Department of Coins & Medals, British Museum. The coins are a mixed group but the majority (66 identifiable coins) are Valentinianic nummi and some later nummi dating up to AD 402. The group also included a worn sestertius of Antonine date, two radiates of Claudius II and a number of earlier nummi. The majority of coins were worn but the composition and spatial proximity of the group probably reflects that of a scattered late Roman hoard. Sum…

TREASURE CASE 2015 T73. A lump of fused silver medieval pennies. The collection conisits of an uncertain number of pennies, possibly originally in a tube of sorts as the coins are stacked one upon the other. The lower section has been heated to a high temperature, causing the silver pennies to melt into an unrecognisable silver lump. There are three or four pennies near the top that although fused still resemble long cross and possibly short cross pennies, however they are all but unidentifiable. These may have been melted deliberately contemporarily, as the practice of modern stubble…

A hoard of debased long-cross pennies/coins, possibly of Edward I (AD 1272-1307). Treasure case No. 2009 T756. Total weight: 1066gms. The coins are mostly consolidated; they were originally in a small vessel (recently broken) and have taken on the shape of this vessel in their consolidation. The coins all appear to have suffered some corrosion as they are mostly white in colour. Some coins display a green copper staining showing that some of the silver is debased. From the consolidated mass it is hard to estimate the quantity of coins but there may be c.200-300.

Treasure Case 2015 T900. A collection of c. 19 objects, consisting of c.85 fragments thereof, of a Middle Bronze Age 'Ornament Horizon' hoard (c. 1400-1200 BC). The items were buried in an undecorated bucket urn laid on its side, probably in a small pit, however severe truncation by the plough had destroyed all but the very base of the context and under half of the vessel. Many of the artefacts were found within 10-15m of the hoard deposit, and were intially recovered by metal detecting. Once a suspected concentration was identifed the local FLO was informed and a controlled ex…

Five fragments of copper alloy objects, all of Middle Bronze Age (Ornament Horizon) date, c. 1400-1200 BC. These fragments are remnants of a hoard reported and concluded at 2015 T900. These five objects comprise a fragment of a torc and four other unidentifiable fragments. These objects have been reported as a separate case as the main hoard had already been declared treasure at the time of discovery of these new items. These items have been dispersed by ploughing as had several other objects and fragments of the original hoard, however there is now doubt that they were originally part…

Addendum to previous cases to BERK-C8CB8E (2017 T635) and BERK-456EE1 (2015 T900). The rod like object is probably either an awl or possibly the shank of a pin as there are others within the largest / original finding. Likewise the small hoop is probably similar ring - as described - is the rectangular fragment blade or flat copper alloy. The other four objects are formless and could be casting waste.Objects from a BA hoard linked to BERK-C8CB8E (2017 T635) and BERK-456EE1 (2015 T900) Measurements (lef to right, top to bottom) 1.
