Inserted into the Roman period central fills (and cut though the south side of the ditch cut, c.0.80-0.90m below the stripped surface) of the Hyderabad Sector of Berechurch Dyke (MCC10093) was a hoard of 1247 silver dipped or washed Roman coins, the latest being an antoninianus of Tetricus I, AD 271-274 (MCC10094), contained within a greyware vessel. The earliest denarii were of Severus Alexander, AD 222-235. The majority were antoniniani dating from AD 251/3 (Trebonianus Gallus) to AD 271-4 (Tetricus I), although the bulk of the coins (c.80%) were of the first Gallic Emperor, Postumus (AD 260-269). The coins of the Roman Emperor Tetricus I suggest the possible deposition date of AD 270 or 271.<1>

The base of another pot stood upright, but with its upper portion broken in antiquity (with dislodged sherds found close by) next to the hoard. Given its adjacent position and its identical narrow necked vessel form, the report (p.90) suggests this pot may originally have held a second hoard.

Two near identical pottery vessels of form Cam 281 (dated M/L2-3/4C) were recovered with the coin hoard cut into JL5 in the ditch JF2 (Figs 18, 20, Photos 15.2, 15.4). The pot Fig 20 Pot 2.1 contained the coins. The other pot (Fig 20 Pot 2.2) was recovered close to the pot containing the coins but was empty. The recovery of some rim sherds from Pot 002 with sherds broken from Pot 001 clearly relates to disturbance at the time of discovery.

Used as container for coin hoard dated to the late 3rd century. Measured capacity of pot approximately 1.05 litres. JL5(14).
Fig 20 Pot 2.2 Cam 281 Fabric GX. Broken on discovery, somebody sherds missing, but probably complete when placed in ground. Grey fabric and surfaces, burnished upper body and shoulder with some burnishing inside rim. Minimum dia. At neck 26-27mm. JL5(13) (14) (15).
