Full Description
[Area centred TQ 8603 7047] In 1952 a hoard of 37 sestertii was found in Slay Hill Saltings, 100 feet SE of the find spot of the 1864 coin hoard (TQ 87 SE 17), in a pot of poor fabric said to be of local manufacture. The coins range from Domitian to Commodus and were in such a poor state that this is probably a currency hoard rather than a treasure hoard. See AO/58/60/1. (1)
Hoard dates from shortly after AD 180. Full account. (2)
