Full Description
1852. Corner of Dove Street and Market Place at depth of 3-4m (10ft-13ft) under Chamberlain's Warehouse (1962 Marshall and Snelgrove).
Coins of Claudius II, Aurelian and Diocletian.
Pottery found in 1852 and 1898 - 1899 is Late Saxon.
Location unknown but one may be one of two coins held by NCM.
The other is a Tetricus.
Diocletian is described in (S1).
R. R. Clarke (NCM).
It would appear the pottery includes that modelled by Goss as 'The Norwich Urn'. 'Found with several others whilst excavating in the market place, Norwich at a depth of ten feet. None of these vessels appear to have been used for any purpose but were probably thrown aside by the potter in consequence of some defect. Now in the Museum'.
See reference (S2).
E. Rose (NAU/NLA).
