A hoard of Roman silver coins was found whilst digging foundations for a dog kennel at Hainton. The hoard was found in a pot with 3 feet and a handle (claimed to be a posset pot). The coins were said to have been worth £80. {1}{2} 'At Haynton, the seat of George Robert Heneage, esq.; 12 miles from Lincoln, and eight from Louth, was found in digging foundations for a dog kennel a large posnet pot with three feet and a handle, full of various Roman silver coins worth £80. Mr. Heneage gave the finder £10.' The hoard was found before 1789. The pot does not sound like a Roman pot. {3}
