HOARD (ROMAN)

Robertson 2000, 3 no. 13:



""At a place called Cefn Caer, or the Ridge of the City, Roman coins have been found, and the traces of a circular entrenchment and a paved road discovered. A roman fort is believed to have been at a little distance from the same place, and near its supposed site silver coins of Augustus and Tiberius have been discovered."

Region: Wales
Place known as: Trefeglwys
Discovery method: Unknown
Notes: 
Guest and Wells reference Robertson no. 13 against the Pennal hoard (Guest and Wells 1077, IARCH-4F0B4A). However Robertson references here a Cefn Caer in Trefeglwys, Montgomeryshire (Powys). Given the similarities it may be that there has been confusion in the historical record. Another possiblilty is the hillfort "y Gaer" in Trefeglwys.
