Description: | A copper-alloy ring of probable late Iron Age to early Roman date. The form of this piece suggests that it is a harness ring. Several similar examples were found in a hoard of 1st century BC to 1st century AD metalwork at Camerton, Somerset (R.Jackson; 1990; pp.49). for a similar example on the PAS database, see BH-5ECDA1. The ring is circular in plan, solid and has a horizontal ridge at the centre of the outer edge. One side is heavy worn on both the inner and outer edge. The object measures 23.8mm in diameter, 5.7mm thick and weighs 9.71g.
