Description: | A small cast copper-alloy ring of uncertain date. The ring is recorded here because of its close association with a large quantity of objects dating to the Roman period; as such, it is likely that this object also dates to the Roman period. The even dark green patina of the ring is also in keeping with objects from this findspot which are diagnostic to the Roman period. There is a slight differential wear or thickness to the ring, which may suggest that thinner areas indicate the location of another link or where the ring was suspended. It measures 14.8 mm long, 14.6 mm wide, 2.5 mm thick and weighs 1.03 grams. A general date for this record has been given covering the Roman to Medieval period, however, as mentioned above, this ring is likely to date to the Roman period (c. AD 43-410).
