Description: | Cast cu-alloy ring, probably prehistoric or Roman and dating from c. 1000BC (Late Bronze Age) to AD410. The ring has a diameter of 29.22cm and an oval cross-section. The surface of the ring is very smooth to the touch, hardly tarnished and it was undecoration. It is unlikely, however, that it was a finger ring, and more likely that it was part of horse harness. The inside of the ring is very smooth suggesting a leather strap attachment rather than a metal chain.
