Description: | Roman copper alloy ring fragment. The hoop is sub-rectangular in section with a very slight central ridge on the outer side (which gradiates away down the hoop) and is a broad 10.8mm wide. The ring is broken down its mid-way point and at this point there is part of a sub-rectangular moulding with the surviving shorter end slightly rounded. The outer, upper surface is flat (dimensions: 11.1mm by 10mm) and it is decorated with an incised vertical line and an incised 'X'. On the opposite side of the ring there is a trace of an extension which may have been similar to that on this side? At this point the section is rectangular and there is a D-shaped recess within the section which uses the inner wall as its straight edge. It has an even grey/green patina. It measures 31.1mm long and weighs 11.49g. This object is clearly too big to be a finger ring and is possibly a harness fitting or has a similar utilitarian function.
