Their investigation of the site revealed that the hoard had been deposited in part of a pottery bowl, and sunk into a small pit. The bronzes had been removed by the finder, but most of the potsherds had been left in situ. The hoard consisted of 21 objects (1-21), plus fragments of other pieces (22-30) found in the sockets of some of the axes, sherds of a pottery vessel (31) some sections of string (32-33) and pieces of wood (34) used as packing material.
