Description: | A cast copper-alloy oval ring of a type often suggested to be medieval or post-medieval harness rings (Geake, 2001, Finds Recording Guide, page 74), dating from AD1200 - 1800, though they are typically undiagnostic. Further, Geake (ibid., 74) suggests that the broadly hexagonal cross-section which this ring possesses probably indicates a medieval date; it is bevelled externally and internally at the edge. It has a pitted grey green patina. The ring is thicker at one point, perhaps the remains of a casting sprue. It is 27.5mm diameter, 2.3mm thick and 2.69g.
