Description
English: LEOMINSTER, Herefordshire

PAS ref. HESH-91B963

Circumstances of Discovery

Found by Messrs Martin Fulloway and Jeremy Daw with the aid of a metal detector with subsequent excavation carried out by FLO (Peter Reavill). Although very close groupings were recorded by the archaeological investigation, little compositional difference was noted between each section and only the major 'clump' groupings are noted in the catalogue.

No pottery was found with the coins but there was evidence that the hoard had once been contained within cloth pouches contained within leather bag(s) since a number of surviving fragments of leather had been preserved by the copper alloy corrosion products. A number of preserved leaves were also discovered within the corrosion products

Date of latest coins

See Normanby. Leominster is similar in composition and likewise contains the earliest phases of both Carausian marked series, L and C.
