From the presence of pot sherds at the site and from the traces of organic fibres on some of the coins, it is likely the coins were either wrapped in a cloth within in a pot or a cloth was used as a bung to seal the pot. The hoard was promptly reported to the British Museum and processed according to the Treasure Act of 1996. Four coins were purchased by the British Museum and one by Doncaster Museum; the remainder returned to the finder and subsequently made available to private collectors. A copy of the preliminary report by Richard Abdy and J. D. Hill will be sent with each order, where possible the numbering used in this list in mentioned in our descriptions. Full publication has been promised and should follow. Below is a summary of the hoards composition.
