List of hoards in Great Britain facts for kids
A hoard is a secret collection of valuable things like coins, jewelry, or metal objects that someone buried long ago. People often buried hoards to keep them safe, hoping to dig them up later. Sometimes, hoards were offerings to gods or spirits, not meant to be found again.
This list tells you about important hoards found across Great Britain (that's England, Scotland, and Wales). It's divided into different time periods from history.
Contents
Stone Age Hoards (Neolithic Period)
Hoards from the Neolithic period (around 4000 to 2000 BC) are very rare. These hoards usually contain stone weapons and tools. Think of things like sharp axeheads and arrowheads.
Hoard | Image | Date | Where it was found | Year found | Where it is now | What was in it |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ayton East Field Hoard | 30th to 25th century BC | East Ayton, North Yorkshire | 1848 | British Museum, London | 3 flint axes, 1 flint adze, 5 arrowheads, 1 polished flint knife, 2 flint flakes, 1 antler macehead, 2 boar-tusk blades | |
York Hoard | 30th century BC | York, North Yorkshire | 1868 | Yorkshire Museum | About 70 flint tools and weapons |
Bronze Age Hoards
Many hoards from the British Bronze Age (around 2700 BC to 8th century BC) have been found. Most of these contain bronze tools and weapons. These include axeheads, chisels, spearheads, and knives.
Many of these might be "founder's hoards." This means they were buried by metalworkers. They planned to melt the bronze down later to make new items. Some hoards also have gold torcs (necklaces) and other jewelry. Coins didn't exist back then, so you won't find coin hoards from this time.
Iron Age Hoards
Lots of hoards from the British Iron Age (around 8th century BC to 1st century AD) have been discovered. Most of these hoards are made up of silver or gold staters. These were a type of Celtic coin. Usually, these hoards have tens or hundreds of coins. The Hallaton Treasure, for example, had over 5,000 silver and gold coins!
Besides coins, people have found hoards of gold torcs and other jewelry. Famous examples include the Snettisham Hoard, the Ipswich Hoard, and the Stirling Hoard. In September 2020, about 1,300 Celtic gold coins were found in eastern England. They date back to between 40 and 50 AD.
Roman Britain Hoards
Hoards from the Romano-British culture period are the most common. This was when parts of Great Britain were controlled by the Roman Empire. This period lasted from 43 AD until about 410 AD. It also includes the time right after, called the Sub-Roman period.
Over 1,200 Roman coin hoards have been found. Besides coins, some hoards contain fancy silver or gold items. These include dishes, bowls, jugs, spoons, and jewelry. The Mildenhall Treasure and the Hoxne Hoard are great examples.
Anglo-Saxon Hoards
Hoards from the Anglo-Saxon period (6th century to 1066 AD) are not as common. The ones found include coins, jewelry, and metalwork. This metalwork can be things like sword hilts or crosses.
The Staffordshire Hoard is the biggest Anglo-Saxon hoard ever found. It has over 1,500 gold and silver items! More Anglo-Saxon treasures are found in burials (graves) than in hoards. Famous burial finds include Sutton Hoo and Prittlewell.
