Description: | A handmade, perhaps wrought iron ring and 2 fragments of an iron rod or bar, probably associated with a 6th century Anglo-Saxon burial.The ring is 54.62mm in diameter and 8.73mm thick. It is D-shaped in section with the inner edge of the ring flat. There are two patches of thicker corrosion on opposite sides of the ring, perhaps related to its function or a form of attachment.The longer rod or bar is 58.01mm in length, 10.63mm in width, and 7.94mm thick. It is sub-rectangular to sub-oval in section.The shorter rod or bar is 40.66mm in length, 9.77mm in width, and 4.28mm thick. It is sub-rectangular to sub-oval in section.The two sections of rod or bar may be from one object or two; it is uncertain. It is also uncertain how they relate to the ring, but they were all found together.If associated with the burial, it is uncertain what the function of these objects was.
