Description: | Copper alloyRing fragment. About half of a cast round-section ring, slightly flattened buy hammering on its upper and lower surfaces. One end is broken, the other flat, apparently as made, suggesting this to be a fragment of an originally penannular object. The object is too small and thick to qualify as a member of the common class of harness rings or brooches, and is possibly a fragment of a Prehistoric object, such as a penannular base metal ring, or the base metal core of a ring of precious metal (though if the latter, no trace of precious metal remains). Suggested date: Later Bronze Age to Roman, 1150 BC-400AD.Diameter (of ring): 17.4mm, Thickness: 4.9mm, Weight: 2.58gms
