Description: | Copper alloy ring. Cast ring of near-circular section. This simple object appears in good condition, which might commend a relatively recent date. It is of originally rounded rather than angular section, which distinguishes it from the common class of medieval 'harness rings'. Horsegear of the Iron Age or chariot fittings of the Late Iron Age might include such items, though they are perhaps more often optimistically ascribed to these earlier periods. Within the very broad date range suggested, a Medieval date is perhaps less likely than the earlier or later eras. Suggested date: Unknown, Iron Age to Post-Medieval, 800 BC - AD 1800.Diameter: 34.4mm, Band Width: 5.1mm, Band Thickness: 4.4mm, Weight: 11.81gms.
