I was wondering if I could follow on from Ingegerd Holand's fascinating
post and ask whether anyone has any references or details regarding
coins being found in the sacred context of these holy wells. I am
asking on behalf of Kristin Bornholdt, an archaeologist colleague of
mine, who is researching coins discovered in sacred contexts. She is
interested in the early medieval period with particular reference to
Viking coinage, but would be interested if anyone has thoughts, ideas
or references re: coins deposited in any type of 'sacred context'.
With thanks in advance,
Guy
