<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WuntBeDruv, post: 24675722, member: 115520&quot;]I recently attended the British Numismatic Society conference where this question was discussed by a very good archaeologist/numismatist called Anni Byard. She presented a paper dealing with Iron age and Roman coin hoarding in north Wales and the Welsh marches (border region with England). In brief, yes - even accounting for finds which have gone unreported there are comparably few Iron Age coin finds from Wales, both as hoards and singly. But we cannot eliminate the possibility that many of the &#039;single&#039; finds were not themselves deposited deliberately. </p><p><br /></p><p>IIRC, her research noted that most of the Welsh finds tended towards coastal areas (including a recent hoard found on Anglesey) and largely were absent from the doubtlessly sparsely-populated, relatively mountainous/hilly interior with less land suitable for agriculture or large-scale settlement.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe the whole of Anni&#039;s lecture was uploaded online somewhere. I will see if I can dig it out and post here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
