Full Description

A hoard of 1500 Roman coins, reputedly of Augustus to Claudius were found in 1808, on land near the Car Dyke at Timberland (hoard index 33). It has been suggested that the hoard has a military connection because of the early date. {1}{2}{3}{4} 'About 14 or 15 hundred of small Roman copper coins were lately discovered in ploughing some land belonging to Mrs. Ward, of Timberland, near Sleaford. They are coins of Augustus, Tiberius, and the first Claudius: [they] were found in a Roman earthen pot (which was broken by the plough); and are in fine preservation.' {5}
