Description: | Cast copper alloy ring of probable Roman - Modern date (50 - 1800). The ring is broadly circular in plan and lentoid in cross section. It measures 22.9mm in diameter, is 1.4mm wide, and is 0.8mm thick. The internal diameter is 14.8mm. The ring weighs 7.32 grams.The ring is a mid brown colour with a well developed patina which covers all surfaces. There is no obvious cast or incised decoration present. The patination of the metal would suggest a medieval or later date, but there is a possibility that it may be earlier, although highly unlikely that it is prehistoric in date. The function of the ring is varied and although it is much worn a direct use cannot be attributed.
