The upper part of the cavity was still filled by the mixed clay-earth 'plug' which had been rammed down solidly over the bronzes. The shape of the \"plug\" and of the cavity suggested to the excavator that the hoard must have been contained in a bag when deposited. (Probably of skin (rawhide) considering the weight of metal.) No trace of this remained.
