Description: | A copper-alloy ring, probably a finger ring, of probable late Iron Age or Roman date (50BC - 300 AD). The ring is cast in one piece and is relatively large and heavy. It has been much abraded in the plough soil and lost a considerable amount of its surface patina. The ring is relatively uniform in diameter and B-shaped in cross section. The B-shape profile is formed due to a single circumferential groove. The ring has a maximum outer diameter of 27.8mm and a maximum internal diameter of 21.3mm. The ring is 2.7mm thick and has a maximum height of 10.2mm. It weighs 13.5 grams.See HESH-EA57F3 for a very similar object.
