Roman coin hoard at White House Farm (EHER 13358)

A Roman coin hoard: 116 denarii from Antoninus Pius to Decius (AD 138-251), were exhibited at a meeting of the British Archaeological Association in July 1850. They had been ploughed up that year in a field called Fish Ponds in Rayleigh about 3/4 mile north of the town. Benton reports a hoard of over 200 coins in an earthen pot found the same year on White House Farm (from Marcus Antonius: BC 143, to Postumus, AD 269). Many of these are in Southend Museum. (It is not clear whether this is one hoard or two). Possibly a late 3rd century hoard.
