Description: | A copper alloy finger ring, probably of late Iron Age or early Roman date. It consists of a strip of metal which is D shaped in section, wound round to create a spiral of three turns. These are no longer tightly coiled, but have separated and been pulled sideways. The smooth mid green patina has been worn away (probably post-recovery) to reveal bare brass beneath. On the flat side of the strip at one end is a small circular depression. A corresponding depression can be found on the convex side of the other end of the strip. In its current configuration, the ring is 35.71mm long, 23.75mm wide and 3.78mm thick. It weighs 15.22gm. Similar rings are illustrated in the PAS Iron Age and Roman Finds training notes (unpublished) which cite an example from Camerton.
