Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, possibly a ring, of uncertain date. It is annular in form, oval in section, and tapers sharply at both sides where it terminates in old breaks. There is no evidence of decoration although a slight ridge or rib is perhaps present running around the circumference of the object. The entire object has very worn surfaces with copper-alloy corrosion and some pitting to the green patina. It measures 27.18mm in width/diameter, 23.43mm in surviving length, 7.31mm in maximum thickness, and 9.09g in weight.The precise form and function of this object remain uncertain. It may have acted as a simple ring performing a variety of functions, the narrow sides and old breaks perhaps resultant from usage, although this remains uncertain. The date range of the object is also uncertain and it may be of any date from the Bronze Age onwards.
