The hoard was found during construction work in Leigh and Bransford, Worcestershire, England, and was hidden inside a clay jar.
[7] These finds are often interpreted as the savings of legionaries or wealthy natives, hidden in response to, or anticipation of, violence and conflict.
[4][1] The jar was identified as a type of Roman pottery known as Severn Valley ware, which was produced at a number of kiln sites located between Wroxeter in the north and Gloucester in the south.
[13][14] It has been suggested that the hoard pot was probably manufactured near Malvern Link, where numerous Severn Valley ware kilns have been recorded during archaeological excavations.
[1] Its burial has been associated with Roman military activity in the West Midlands and Welsh Borders, which was at its peak between the war with Caratacus and the Boudican Rebellion.
