Description: | A copper-alloy ring of possible late Iron Age to early Roman date. Harness rings are difficult to date but the form and dimensions of this piece are very similar to several rings found in a hoard of 1st century BC to 1st century AD metalwork at Camerton, Somerset (R.Jackson; 1990; pp.49).
The ring is circular in plan, solid and comes to a horizontal ridge at the centre of the outer edge. It measures 20.4mm in diameter, 4.2mm thick and weighs 5.13g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -100
