Description

Summary: Hoard of four Roman copper-alloy vessels consisting of a bowl strainer; Bassin Uni; carinated basin; and an Irchester bowl. Part of a structured deposit with each vessel nestled within another and all contained within the Irchester bowl. The vessels are fragmentary and fragile. An important find for Wiltshire - this is the second structured deposit found in the Pewsey area, providing further evidence for instability in the last years of Roman Britain (300-450 AD), and part of a wider pattern of hoarding in troubled times. Found in Wilcot, 2017.
