The hoop is formed by a single band of gold which is square in cross-section at one terminal and octagonal at the other. The hoop is now slightly distorted and there are some hammer marks along one surface at the square-sectioned end.Discussion Though there are no further contextual details to confirm this, the gold band resembles the penannular rings made and worn during the Late Bronze Age (1150-750 BC) in Britain.
