Valley bottom/floodplains are 11%, cave sites 6%, & wetlands/peat marsh 8% of the total. Cambridgeshire (no. = 61) Hill summits & slopes account for 67% of all known S. Yorks. hoard find spots, with valley bottoms or floodplains 17% (though Doncaster accounts for most of latter). Some of the floodplain sites were probably once wetlands/peat bog % (8) 14.75% (9) 47.54& (29) Cambridgeshire is a largely low-lying landscape, and 48% of known find spots were from valley bottom or floodplain locales; but 16% of known find spots were on summits/sides of hills, with 21% on the sides or summits of low rises. Given post-medieval drainage and land reclamation, it may be that some floodplain hoards were originally deposited in wetlands, to which 10% of recorded hoards could be more securely attributed.

18 South Yorkshire the Cadeby Hoard (Images A.M. Chadwick, courtesy Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery). The Cadeby hoard (left) found by detectorist in 1981, within natural fissure in limestone bedrock capped with stone slab. 112 denarii & ant. of AD , within small ceramic poppy beaker. At least 10 other coin hoards & other metalwork such as brooches found at Cadeby & Sprotbrough, & also at New Edlington to S (below). Some focused on natural limestone outcrops. Also 4 silver bracelets two snake bracelets, and two with hinged fastenings, set with rough-cut carnelians.

19 ( The River Don gorge is a dramatic landscape feature, with Cadeby visible to the north (top left). Looking south across the Conisbrough Viaduct (below), its scale is apparent. Although both sides are cut into Magnesian Limestone, just east of the gorge the lower, undulating landscape of the Sherwoood Sandstone begins, and this was perhaps an older social boundary too, possibly between the Brigantes and Corieltauvi.
