During excavations at the Cups Hotel Site between 1973-4 (ECC346) a number of late Roman and early Anglo-Saxon artefacts were recovered including a late Roman bone comb and belt-mount together with 100 coins, possibly from a dispersed coin hoard, which were associated with the late Roman building (see MCC1205). In addition 16 sherds of Anglo-Saxon pottery were found in the main excavation trench. All were grass-tempered and two were probably parts of the same pot dated to the 6th-century or later.<1><2>
