The three roughly rectangular impressions on other sides appear to support this interpretation. Further cleaning might improve t…

The Coins All sixteen coins belong to a class of Iron Age coins known as 'Flat Linear I' potins. While the majority of Iron Age coins were produced by striking a gold, silver or bronze blank between a pair of dies, potins were instead cast in moulds and made from a lead/tin-rich bronze alloy. Although highly abstract, it is clear that their designs copied earlier types which depicted a human head and a butting bull, originally derived from the coinage of the Greek city of Massalia (Marseille, France). Flat Linear potins were produced in Kent and the south-east in the mid first ce…

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.

Snettisham hoard F, consisting principally of 9.2 kg of broken metalwork contained within a bronze vessel (Stead 1991, 447). De Jersey (2015) writes: "The hole dug by [the finder] to recover the items was 60 cm deep. The metalwork included "fragments from at least 50 torques, at least 70 ingot rings/bracelets and three straight ingots, as well as nine coins" (ibid.). Five of the coins were contained within a piece of tubular torc. One of the coins had been chopped in two." British Museum excavations and further detecting by the finder followed, revealing further non-coin hoards and…

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. Sills (ibid., 157, no. 94) also suggests that two Gallo-Belgic Ab1 class …

As Haselgrove (1987, 283 no. 40) has pointed out, there is a Romano-British fort and settlement here and the coins could well be multiple site finds. A fourth potin from Bardwell (CCI 96.2829) was apparently found some 6 km from the Romano-British site (J. Newman, pers. comm.)."

De Jersey (2104): "Although Farnham is neither a particularly substantial nor complex hoard, the fact that coins have been dug up on at least five separate occasions over some 150 years has created a rather complicated written record. Two coins are recorded from the pre-detecting era, which - with hindsight - may have been from the same deposit as the larger, later finds. Whitbourn (1859, 15) describes what appears to be a Gallo-Belgic E stater - "stamped on one side only with the crude representation of a horse" - found "some time since at Farnham Castle". In 1966 a stater then …
