Object type: RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy ring of uncertain date and function. It is a rod of sub-square but rounded section which has been bent into a closed loop. The ends butt up to each other. The inner edge is worn and rounded. The ring was found in a field that has produced many Roman finds, so a Roman date is tentatively suggested. The patina is well developed and is a very dark brown colour with some pitting. Compare BERK-D773A4 and BERK-1DF112.

County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy ring of uncertain date and function. It is similar to harness rings which are commonly believed to be Medieval. These generally have a hexagonal cross section for example, WAW-3E2EE1. However, this example is thicker than normal, and though the inner edge is bevelled, the outer edge is more rounded and has an incised pair of lines running round it. It is not clear if the lines are wear or decoration. The ring was found in a field that has produced many Roman finds, so a Roman date is tentatively suggested. The patina is well developed and a very dark green colour. Compa…

A lead alloy trade weight dating from the Medieval period. It is triangular in plan and has bevelled edges. The front face is decorated with a crude fleur-de-lis with a large pellet in each corner. It has a grey patina. At 109g it was probably intended as a 4oz weight, though it is a little light. Similar weights can be seen in Biggs, p.43 which discusses how lead weighs such as this were used to weigh goods under the averdepois system from 1390 in England and were used throughout the 15th century. It is likely that these weights represent a desire to standardize the trade …
