Description: | A copper-alloy ring of uncertain date and function. There are several such objects recorded on the database, their dating being problematic. They also, probably, served a variety of functions. The small size and wear patterns of this object suggest it may be a bead. The object was found in association with other objects of, primarily, Iron Age and Roman date so a date of this period seems likely. The ring has a convex outer surface and slightly flattened inner surfaces. Both the width and the thickness of the ring decrease significantly at one point, possibly as a result of wear from a strap or cord.
