TREASURE CASE 2008 T701
A flat silver band with stamped geometric decoration, which may in fact be an ornamental fitting rather than a finger-ring.
The decoration suggests a date in the late 18th or 19th century.
The find dates to later than 1708 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
