The coins recovered between 2017 and 2020 were all struck between c. 2 BC and AD 4, with the lack of any coins of Tiberius implying the hoard was probably assembled in the first two decades of the 1st century AD - well before the Roman invasion of AD 43. The proximity of the hoard to a circular cropmark and slight earthwork that may represent the remains of a Bronze Age barrow (NHER 45138) is potentially significant - suggesting the site was potentially chosen due to the visibility of earlier monument.
