Description: | A cast copper alloy ring of uncertain date. It comprises a plain band that is flat, rectangular in profile and with a slightly bevelled inner edge. To one side there is extensive damage to the band that appears to be the result of poor casting rather than use-wear or post-depositional damage. The band is undecorated and the upper and lower edges unevenly cast. It measures 20.70mm in external and 17.46 in internal diameter and weighs 2.38g. The date and function of this ring are uncertain. The bevelled interior edge suggests possible usage as a finger ring and due to its lack of distinctive decoration or form could plausibly date to any point from the Roman period onwards.
