Report to H M Coroner on find of potential Treasure from Radway, Warwickshire. 2005 T552
Small gold penannular ring with traces of decorative banding in close-set narrow stripes, which would originally have shown as bands of yellow and paler gold. The alternate stripes of softer metal are somewhat eroded and the banded effect is now difficult to see with the naked eye. The piece is worn, especially around the circumference. Closer inspection in the laboratory showed that the ring is solid, and has complex three-tone striping; this is analogous to a ring in the British Museum collect…

Object type: PENANNULAR RING
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Penannular gold ring with hoop of circular cross-section; original decorative banding in broad stripes of yellow and paler gold are very worn and best perceptible near inner surface. Roughness of gold at one terminal could be due to damage. The surface is heavily worn; scores and scrapes are likely to have occurred post-depositionally. Visual inspection suggests that the piece comprises a gold covering over a base metal core.
Diameter 18-18.5mm; internal diameter 6.5mm; breadth 6.5mm; weight 9.51 grams.

2005 T495: Description 3-coil gold penannular ring which appears to be made from a rolled-up length of gold sheet; the wire thus made has a flattened oval section. The ends are slightly tapered and terminate level with each other. A very small part of the tip of one end is broken off revealing a void. The piece has been squashed in the ground.
Maximum dimensions (as distorted) 28mm x 10.5mm; breadth 4mm; weight 4.46 grams.
Composition See appended report.

Object type: PENANNULAR RING
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
Small, plain penannular gold ring of flattened oval cross section; the ends taper slightly to flat terminals. Examination in the laboratory indicated that the object has a base metal core.
External diameter 15.5x14mm; internal diameter 4.5mm; breadth 6mm; weight 6.18 grams.
Non-destructive X-ray fluorescence analysis of the surface of penannular ring from 'Havant area', Hampshire, indicated a gold content of 76 - 79 %, silver content of 16 - 18 %, the remainder being copper. The ring weighs 6.18 grams and the specific gravity measurement of 9 indicates that it has a base metal core.

Object type: PENANNULAR RING
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Small penannular gold ring of sub-circular section with decorative narrow banding in yellow and paler gold; corrosion of the silver-rich stripes has caused blackening in places. The external surfaces are patchily worn. The gap is bridged by green corrosion products probably deriving from a base metal core.
External diameter 14mm-15mm; internal diameter circa 7mm; breadth 4.5mm; width of gap circa 2mm; weight 4.13 grams.
Composition
Surface analysis indicated gold and silver contents od approx. 57% and 40% respectively.

CORONER'S REPORT
Description
A late Bronze Age penannular gold ring of oval cross-section. The piece originally had alternate stripes of yellow and paler gold although this is now barely visible except internally where the surface is less worn. Measurement of specific gravity indicated that it comprises a gold covering over a base metal core.
Composition
Non-destructive X-ray fluorescence analysis of the surface of a very worn striped penannular ring indicated for the yellow stripes a gold content of 79-83% , a silver content of 13-17%, the remainder being copper. The gold…

Object type: PENANNULAR RING
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Published
Bronze age gold ring, Diameter 14x12.5mm. Diameter of rod 3mm. Weight 4.39 grams. Small gold ring comprising a length of round-sectioned gold rod; the plain, flat terminals meet (but not perfectly). While this object belongs broadly to the class of Bronze Age penannular rings, it has more in common with the Middle Bronze Age type which includes composite rings than with the later Bronze Age series. Simple rings of plain round-sectioned rod have been found in association with Middle Bronze Age composite rings in North East Norfolk (G Varndell in Treasure Annual Report 2004) and in the …

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Published
Complete gold composite penannular ring of Middle Bronze Age date (1300 BC - 1150 BC). The ring is a tri-partite composite type. The three elements are lightly C-shaped in cross-section and have apparently been soldered together. Each of the elements is about 3mm in width. The item falls into the category of Bronze Age composite rings which have clear associations with twisted bar ornaments, onto which they can be threaded.
