Journal of Prehistory and Archaeology
"On the floor of the cave... in the sand likely dug up by badger at the entrance to its sett, we found the coins with more inside," the archaeologists wrote after finding 209 coins dating back to between the 3rd and the 5th century AD. the one minted in London was one of the most well preserved coins and is"bronze, weighing between eight and 10 grams, with an approximate 4% silver.""The quantity of coins recovered, as well as the undoubted archaeological interest of the transition to the early medieval period, make the hoard discovered at Bercio an exceptional find," they wrote.
