Abstract: |
In 2002, five Romano-British graves, containing the remains of at least eleven individuals and a coin hoard, were discovered during the mechanical excavation of an agricultural drainage sump in Garley's Field, Ketton, Rutland. A shale bracelet, two copper alloy bracelets and two pottery accessory vessels, date the burials to the third to fourth centuries AD. The hoard, deposited in a grave either at the time of burial or as a later insertion, comprised 1418 coins and coin fragments. The latest coins, Theodosian issues dating to AD395-402, suggest that the hoard was probably deposited in the first decades of the fifth century. This would place it amongst the latest group of 'Honorian' hoards and amongst the latest Roman bronze hoards found in Britain. |
