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 dark brown patina. The ring is slightly thinner and wider at one point and has suffered some damage subsequent to deposition in the soil, being cracked across the loop. It is 29.8mm in and diameter, 2.9mm thick. It weighs 6.43gm.
