PLATE IV. 



In excavating at Brickendonbury, the seat of Mr. George Pearson, 

 about a mile and a half south of the town of Hertford, the workmen 

 came upon a small hoard of lloman denarii, for the most part of base 

 metal. The excavation was for a sunk flower-bed, ten yards east 

 of the house. The coins lay in a small recess cut in the virgin clay 

 and covered with eight inches of clay and natural soil, and upon 

 the old surface there lay about eighteen inches of made-up ground 

 derived from an ancient moat close at hand when in course of con- 

 struction. This shows no disturbance since its first deposition.
