Copper alloy ring with a diameter of 20.7mm of possible medieval or early post-medeival date (c.1200-1600AD). The bezel is flat and measures 7.1mm wide. The shoulders taper from the bezel into the hoop which is 4.0mm wide at the rear. There are three broadly parallel grooves running across the bezel and down onto the shoulders on either side. Across this, on the bezel, is a zigzag, or what could be, a crudely executed W or M motif.
