The three pots in which the coins were buried in are all rather similar types of mid-seventeenth century kitchen ware.
 They are all handled jars that would have been used in the kitchen, and as they show no signs of being used for cooking it has been surmised that they would have been used for food storage.
 Pot A and Pot B are most similar, and Pot A has been definitively identified as Ryedale ware.
 Pot C is somewhat different from Pots A and B, and is not Ryedale ware, but comes from a different unidentified source.
