Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy ring, possibly a finger ring of late Iron Age to early Roman date. The remains of the ring are sub-oval in cross-section and only one turn is still intact; it is likely that both ends of the remaining band are broken. Traces of incised lines are visible on the outer surface of the band, in addition to traces of gilding in multiple places. The copper-alloy is of an even dark green patina. The ring measures 4.11mm wide, 3.03mm thick and weighs 5.47 grams. This ring was discovered in an area that has yielded a large quantity and array of finds dating to the late Iron Age-early Roman period.
