English: "A partially disturbed hoard of Roman coins discovered whilst the finder was metal-detecting on cultivated land. The initial discovery of a scatter of coins was thought to be a hoard and so it was left in-situ (following good practice) while the discovery was reported to the Finds Liaison Officer for Cambridgeshire, Helen Fowler. The hoard was then excavated by Helen Fowler and Dr. Andrew Brown of the British Museum.
The hoard was contained within at least two Roman ceramic vessels, one inside the other and had been partly disturbed by the action of roots and agricultural machinery but was mostly still in situ. No surviving archaeological feature containing the hoard was detected. A larger, coarser grey ware vessel was on the outside and within it was a finer, dark grey vessel that contained the coins. The coins were removed from the pot in three main layers. After excavation the hoard was brought to the British Museum for conservation under the supervision of Pippa Pearce. "
The Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) is a voluntary programme run by the United Kingdom government to record the increasing numbers of small finds of archaeological interest found by members of the public. The scheme started in 1997 and now covers most of England and Wales. Finds are published at https://finds.org.uk
