Abstract:		 An excavation on the site of the Roman hoard discovery aimed to identify any contexts associated with the late Roman hoard burial. This was undertaken as damage caused by illegal metal detecting posed a significant threat to the archaeological features. The site of the 1992 excavation was redug to investigate more fully the features that were identified during the works involved in the initial hoard recovery. The area was found to be redug and disturbed, since backfilling by the archaeology unit, however, some components of the original hole could be recognised, though in a much poorer condition. A single post hole in the southwest corner of the hoard burial hole remained partly intact and though no dateable finds were recovered in the infilling deposit it is possibly contemporary in date with the hoard and was possibly a marker. No other Roman features were identified indicating that the hoard burial was not located in the immediate vicinity of a settlement. Five phases of activity were identified on the site: i) A series of prehistoric pits and post holes, 19 of which describe a possible structure. These appear to be Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age, ii) The Roman hoard burial, iii) A post medieval boundary ditch, iv) A single modern rubbish pit and v) Post 1992 illegal metal detecting activity. A metal detector survey was carried out in all phases of the excavation and more finds were recovered. The survey also recovered a few medieval and post-medieval artefacts. [Au(abr)]
