Report by J Plouviez: The pottery of interest is the hoard container, a semi-complete small, slender, narrow mouthed jar. A fairly hard mid grey fabric with a moderate amount of silver mica in it, and a moderate amount of variable sized white sand grains (including at least one piece over 5mm across). The pot has been reconstructed from about 60 fragments which show extensive very recent damage, presumably from the plough. The only older fractures are possibly two chips on the base and at the neck where the rim is completely absent, suggesting it was removed in an earlier phase of agri…

Evans (1869, 319-20) also describes sherds from at least two handmade pottery vessels found "within a few yards of the coins which, though probably belonging to the same period, were not immediately connected with the hoard".

De Jersey writes: a piece of blue clay about nine inches long, in shape an oblong square, containing between forty and fifty gold coins, with a partition between each coin?. Allen (1960a, 286) suggested that this could have been a coin mould into which the coins had been placed for melting down, but a typical Iron Age pellet mould would normally have smaller cavities than the finished coins, and it is difficult to understand why coins would have been placed in individual cavities in order to be melted down; in addition, the dimensions of this container, if accurately recorded, are qui…

Ceramic vessel, the surviving one of three containers for a radiate hoard from Mildenhall (IARCH-BD5318). Studied in Moyse's Hall Museum by Robertson (1954, 41): "The pot, which has the neck broken off, is of hard grey clay with a darker slip and a trellis pattern round the body. The surviving portion stands 6 in. high, and is 5¾ in. wide." She adds (2000, 168) "The neat footstand is 1¼ in. wide."

The pot is described as a butt-beaker with a pedestal base, approximately 8 1/4 in. (20.6 cm) in height, in a sandy brown colour with a dark fabric; it has decoration of horizontal grooves framing faint vertical combings and is believed to be of pre-conquest date (ibid.).

Ceramic jar, a container for late Roman hoard IARCH-A94B2E.
Described (in Robertson 2000, 392-393 no. 1588 quoting Prigg) as "fragments of a small vase of Durobrivian pottery...Of the vessel that contained them, the only portions recovered were the base, with its narrow foot and half the neck, representing a jar of about half a pint in capacity. It had evidently been broken some time previous to its final discovery; and fragments of it had, no doubt, been carried away in former ploughings, without materially disturbing the contents".
Probably Nene valley pottery.

Lid for the fourth century Freston hoard IARCH-F86BFD.
Robertson 2000, 295-296 no. 1240 writes:
"Subsequent examination of the site by the writers showed that the hoard had been placed in a large pot sealed by a smaller one. No other evidence of Roman occupation could be seen in the vicinity and none has been reported from Freston..
The pots in which the hoard was concealed had been broken and scattered in the plough-soil, but they were capable of reconstruction.... The rim [of the larger pot] is missing, destroyed by previous ploughings, but one fragment which has survived indic…
